Instructions
On the internet find a copy of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In an MLA formatted 2-3 page double spaced essay, list each
of the five parts of the First Amendment. Under each part provide at least one example where it has been challenged or changed in the past
several years. You may use your own knowledge and/or any reliable source (not Wikipedia) to help you find examples. After each
example you provide, discuss whether you agree or disagree with the challenge (or change) and explain why. Cite your sources using MLA
format. (Help with MLA format is located in the Syllabus and Quick Links section of this course.)
Type your essay in a word processing program and save it as an .rtf file (or if using Microsoft Word, save it as a .doc or .docx file). If it is
not saved as one of these file types, I cannot open it and you would receive a zero for the assignment.
When finished typing your essay, upload your saved file at this link.
