Your local and state government does not have the ability to modify free speech rights, religious freedom rights etc.

It does under a strict reading of the Constitution, which is something Conservatives usually advocate.

Just to take one clause of the first amendment..."Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" as an example.

At the time of the BOR, (1791) 10, of the 13 original states had established religions (I'm basing this figure on brief google search - I couldn't find which states and what religions before I head out to lunch).
