Answer:

Based on the First Amendment we can infer that the Founding Fathers of the United States had a classical liberal ideological conception.

Thus, the Founding Fathers believed in the right to liberty as the fundamental pillar on which to organize the society and politics of the United States. So, the government must respect the freedom of citizens, who in turn can exercise their freedoms (of expression, religion, etc.) without any limitation by the government or any other citizen.
