Based on the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Jefferson described the intentions of the language of the First Amendment as C. "A final blow to the forces of tyranny."

President Thomas Jefferson is widely known to have firmly believed that every American has the right to prevent the government from infringing on liberties (especially liberties concerning religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition).

The First Amendment (1791) protected the following rights of American citizens:

  • Free speech
  • Freedom of worship (Religion)
  • Free press
  • Free assembly
  • Citizens' right to petition the government.

Thus, Jefferson described the intentions of the First Amendment as "A final blow to the forces of tyranny."
