Answer:

The First Amendment must protect the following:

  • Freedom of religious exercise and from government-established religion
  • Freedom of assembly
  • Freedom of the press
  • Freedom of speech
  • Freedom of petition

The First Amendment does NOT allow people to defame someone's character (creating false claims to damage one's reputation), incite violence (encouraging others to commit crimes), or threaten/harass others.

Summary:

In order for the First Amendment to be applicable, one must not defame, target, threaten, harass, or encourage one to start violence/crimes.
