These volumes explore the five freedoms protected in the First
Amendment—speech, religion, press, assembly, and the right to
petition the government. Together, these five guaranteed freedoms
make the people of the United States the freest in the world. There
is no age or citizenship requirement to exercise your First
Amendment—they are guaranteed the day you are born as long as you
are in the U.S. Few Americans would question the importance of the

the First Amendment in 1789 to today, most Americans exercise these
rights every day.

largely characterized as terrorism in which the perpetrator targets
his/her own country. Also called homegrown terrorism, domestic
terrorism is defined by the U.S. State Department as "premeditated,
politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant
targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually
intended to influence an audience." The two largest categories of
domestic terrorism (DT) or domestic violent extremism (DVE) are:
racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism; and
anti-government or anti-authority extremism.
