(a) - Speech that constitutes a direct personal provocation.

Explanation:

The first constitutional amendment refers to freedom of expression, religious freedom and the prohibition of censorship. This amendment also states that the entire population is free to make any demonstration and protest to any governmental sphere and any ruler, provided it is a peaceful protest. Based on this, we can say that the first constitutional amendment prohibits the formation of a clergy to offer non-denominational prayers in public high school formations, polygamy, as long as it is part of traditional religious practice and the establishment of schools to require Jehovah's Witnesses salute the flag Schools exempt Amish children from public education requirements.

However, the first amendment allows a speech to be given that constitutes a direct personal provocation.
