Unfortunately, the article does not work as it shows up with a 404 error so I'll do my best to relate it to current events.
The six clauses or freedoms of the first amendment are among the most important part of the constitution. Many consider them to be the backbone of our law and society in the United States and society as a whole. As such they have been called into question in our current state in the government, the news, and our societal issues at hand.
Recently, a black man named George Floyd died to corrupt police officers who strangled the poor man. This cause an outroar of protestors who reinvigorated the black lives matter movements. However, President Donald Trump ordered the protestors to be tear gassed and controlled and prevented despite their peaceful protests. This escalated into riots with people responding with physical violence out of sheer rage and aggression. This event sparked the questioning of our society's and our government's racial relations and how well they are handling society as a whole. Donald Trump later commanded the national guard to bring in helicopters to control any protestors with violent force. Luckily, this was stopped by the supreme court, but it does not change Trump's handling of the situation who has tried to show much aggression towards these peaceful protests. Looting and other illegal activities have also started occurring amongst the protests where peaceful has suddenly turned into violence.
These threats against the common people should not be taken lightly at all. Trump is in clear defiance of the constitution's first amendment, the right to petition. He is enforceing these protests using the military which is a dangerous abuse of power and should be brought to the attention and questioning of the supreme court.
