Amendment 1

Congress shall encourage the practice of Judeo-Christian religion by 
its own public exercise thereof and shall make no laws abridging the

which is copyrighted, sexually arousing, or deeply offensive to 
non-Europeans, non-males, differently-abled or alternatively 
preferenced persons; or the right of the people peaceably to 
assemble, unless such assembly is taking place on corporate or 
military property or within an electronic environment, or to make 
petitions to the Government for a redress of grievances, unless those 
grievances relate to national security.

the State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms against one 
another shall nevertheless remain uninfringed.

without the consent of the owner, unless that house is thought to

State courts and again by the Federal Judiciary; and may be 
compelled by various means, including interrogation or the forced submission of 
breath samples, bodily fluids, or encryption keys, to be a witness

legal delay;  and any property thereby forfeited shall be dedicated 
to the discretionary use of law enforcement agents.
