first amendment -- Ronald Reagan

The meaning has not changed in the last thirty years or two hundred. for the press or religious values.

“To those who cite the First Amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions and every-day life, may I just say: The First Amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny.” — Ronald Reagan, March 15, 1982, in an address to the Alabama State Legislature
