Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the

free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the

people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

 

People have freedom of speech and can say anything they would like and they cannot

be prohibited to say whatever they choose to say. Second is the freedom of religion, this allows

a person to believe anything he/she wants to believe in. They also cannot be forced to believe

in a religion if they don’t want to. Finally is the freedom of press, to be able to print and type

anything you want in news paper.

Answers:

Answer #1: I say it does affect daily life because freedom of speech can easily change someone's day and their actions towards others. Leo had done things such as write letters to inform other on the amendment, to inform them on how it had helped him and so on.

Yes that’s correct, the first amendment is something that changes lives/day, and it also allows peoples thoughts to be expressed.

Answer #2: He finds that it is used in daily life by communicating with others [using the amendment] and that it helps "get ideas out there".

Yup [I mean it was right in the video] the idea itself is simple yet can seem hard, a great answer.

Answer #3: Leo says that it helps shape our country and gives support and will in trying to actually listen to other people's ideas.

Indeed, the amendment is thought that way through Leo, this is actually the perfect answer I was looking for.
