First amendment

Long ebook about the US constitution at project gutenberg, Most of the actualy constitution is not about rights but about procedures....and if you are not from the USA, you might want to check out what the first amendment actually says.


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.


It says nothing about separation of church and state, nor about a "wall" between church and state. It does say government isn't allowed to interfere with religions.
