How does geography affect settlment patterns in western Europe

Europe is a peninsula, made up of many smaller peninsulas. This means that much of Europe is near the ocean, making access to world shipping and fishing industries practical. In addition, mighty rivers ease transportation within the continent and to the seaports.

Much of the land is flat and the climate throughout most of the continent is conducive to agriculture. Europe also has access to raw materials needed for heavy industries. Because European civilization dates back at least three thousand years, it is made up of many old cultures and traditions.

freedom of speech is also protected by the 1 amendment.

here is pretty much what the 1st amendment says:

congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
