"THE MEANING OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION"

Many rightwing politicians, conservative television anchors, newspaper columnists and radio talk-show hosts interpret the first amendment of the American constitution to mean that the free speech of every American citizen on any subject matter or on any issue of life under the sun is 100% protected and guaranteed in real life. Is that what the first amendment of this over 200 years old American constitution says in all reality? Are there any limitations to the coverage areas of this free speech clause that is entrenched in the American constitution?

The first amendment of the United States constitution states that "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." The first amendment of the United States constitution centers its entire constitutional power on the United States Congress by directly preventing the Congress from ever making and passing any law that will either abolish or will limit the free speech or opinions of any American citizen.

The first amendment of the American constitution does not dictate, covers or limits the activities of any private entities or organizations in America in relation to the free speech or personal opinions of any American that is directly associated with such private bodies either through employment, consultancy or membership. Every private entity or organization can decide privately on what to do and how they will react or treat the free speech or the personal opinions of their employees, members, consultants or associates that they considered to be offensive, out of order, unacceptable and violate their organizations' mission statements, policies, goals and objectives.
