Keira Weldon "The government has a right to know what people are reading so they may determine if it's a threat to the country."

I disagree with this statement because no one should have to reveal personal information or thoughts to anyone. When something is personal, it's to yourself and you shouldn’t have to reveal anything. If the government were to have the right to know what a person was reading or written to themselves, this would be breaking the 1st amendment. In the 1st amendment it 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”. This means that no one should violate a person’s freedom to speak, nor write which is an expression of free exercise.
