America is built on many cultures and every culture must be protected by law and treated equally and with dignity, regardless of the circumstances. No one has the right to possess another person or force them to stop practicing their religion through threat or punishment. Equal does not mean that we are all the same, but each of us is different in our own way of possessing common qualities that make us all human. Our Founding Fathers believed in the First Amendment and felt that these rights should not be left in the hands of a single leader, like the King of England or Donald Trump.
