Paola Guzman/Kiara Mendez
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.
