Nearly 4 in 10 Americans can’t name any first amendment rights

A recent poll conducted by the University of Pennsylvania finds that residents of the United States are poorly informed about basic constitutional provisions.

The newly released survey suggests Americans cannot name a single right protected by the First Amendment.

According to Penn’s Annenberg Public Policy Center released Tuesday, 37 percent could not name any of the five rights protected by First Amendment, and just about half (48 percent) could name freedom of speech.
