Document Summary
Someone who grows up within a specific system. Constrained by previous arguments but not totally bound. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Originally meant that the government should have not official religion. Or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech: freedom of speech, does not mean you can say whatever you wish, but it cannot be restricted, cultural conflicts such as, obscenity, pornography, national security.

What people know are based on past cases, stylistic.
