Simply stated, what the First Amendment covers is more than just the 'free speech' thing. It states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of a 'national religion', or prohibiting the free exercise thereof (the Government can't prevent you from observing any one or other religion); or abridging the freedom of speech, or freedom of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
