One third of Americans have no clue what rights they have under the First Amendment.
The Newseum’s 2015 State of the First Amendment survey painted a bleak picture of Americans’ ability to remember what rights they are guaranteed by the foundation for individual freedom.
Freedom of religion is the very first of the five rights protected under the First Amendment, yet only 19 percent could recall it, marking a 10 percent drop from last year.
