First Amendment

When I came to the United States from China, I can really feel what is freedom. In China, I couldn’t say that we don’t have freedom, just the freedom was restricted by the government. The people can not say what they want. Only the government officers can make a decisions. In the United States, the people can say or do whatever they want. And the decision such as the presidential election was decided directly by the people.
Basically, the first amendment is that the people can have the freedom of speech, the freedom of press, etc. In my opinion, the freedom of speech is the most important, because people can express what they think, what they want, or what they want the government to concern, so the government can rule the country better. If a country was lack of people’s opinions or cooperation, it’s hard for a government to run a country. But the excessive freedom may cause some unwanted problems. For example, in the United States, the people can own a gun. I think the government should concern this issue. That ’s why so many violent crimes in the present society.
