Perhaps it may not come as a surprise, but according to the Freedom Forum Institute's annual “State of the First Amendment” survey, a shocking number of Americans don’t know their First Amendment rights.

As IJR reports, the survey found only one person was able to name all five First Amendment rights.

And a whopping 40 percent couldn't name any.

Of those rights that some could recall, the right to freedom of speech was the most commonly remembered, with 56 percent of respondents being able to list it.

Just 15 percent of respondents were able to name freedom of religion, 13 percent freedom of the press, 12 percent freedom of peaceful assembly, and only 2 percent named the freedom to petition the government.
