US+Constitution

Read the First Amendment to the Constitution below and try to determine what it is saying about freedom of speech: **//"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."//** Summary on 1st amendment: No law can violate rights to religion, speech, press, gathering, amd can complain to the government.

Summary of the role of the bill of rights in our constitution: the guidlines of law interpretation. 1st Case: principal: -did not contain school related issues -was a students personal life (shouldnt be in public news paper) -can prohibit something if it is the best for the students
 * can you say that?**

Students: -they were expressing themselves -viewing fellow students opinions on divorce -no violations made -free speech -newpaper primarily for students anyways

i believe that the supreme court found in favor of the principal of the school because he, as a principal, has the right to prohibit anything in the school if it is bad for the students well-being, and he was acting as the "editor-and-chief" of the school newspaper because he runs the school newspaper, so he can decide what goes in and out of the paper.

I am the President, I can declare war on Lower Slobovia; I can make any decision I want. the president **can** declare war on Lower Slobovia, but with Congress's consent because if this is a negative action which will put us in debt or any other negative reason, congress could reject that idea. I am a Senator; I can help write and pass any law I want. ﻿ ﻿the supreme court can interperit the law anyway they want, however. I am the President of the United States; I can veto any law passed by Congress.

I am the President of the United States; I can do anything I want.

I am the President of the United States; I can make a treaty with Upper Slobovia.

We're the Supreme Court; we'll be ruling on every law for years.
