“Can you name the five freedoms guaranteed to American citizens by the First Amendment?
Nearly 6 in 10 Americans are able to name the freedom of speech. Yet fewer than 1 in 4 are able to name the freedom of religion, according to new research from the First Amendment Center. (Meanwhile, more than one-third of Americans are unable to name any of the five.)”

that wanted to have a service on the beach? Look at the 1st amendment. You have a freedom of religion and a right to peaceably assemble. You ask the govt to have access to the beach. They say no, no religious services. So you petition for a redress of grievances…
