The First Amendment
The First Amendment protects five things. Can you name them all? Only 7 in 100 Americans can.
“When Ande and Sam try to rush their seedlings into growing, the garden teaches them a lesson no one had to write down. With help from Terra the Turtle, Scout the Rabbit, Buzz the Bee, and Flora the Butterfly, they discover that nature’s laws aren’t chains — they’re gifts. A rhyming adventure about patience, trust, and the rules that were here before any of us.”

Q: How many Americans does it take to name all five First Amendment rights? A: Apparently about 14. Only 7% can do it. True or False: Benjamin Franklin proposed the turkey as the national symbol. True-ish. In a private letter to his daughter, Franklin wrote that the bald eagle had “bad moral character” and was “a rank coward,” while the turkey was “a much more respectable bird.” Congressional Record: The 118th Congress introduced over 13,000 bills. Fewer than 100 became law. Your office printer has a better success rate.
