---

It may only be a mere 45 words but the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution is fundamental to American's way of “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.” - Picture digitally manipulated, with shot taken of US training banknotes and then colours removed. Has a slightly mottled surface texture from the printing process. Fibrous red tape over mouth.
