who said anything about revoking the First Amendment?
A large group of Democrats in the United States Senate are currently working on repealing the First Amendment and replacing it with something weaker and less explicit.
It has long been thought that the political right is the major force behind censorship, a notion reinforced by the attempts, some successful, to prohibit anti-religious and grossly sexual material. Prohibition of political communication is increasingly the realm of the political left, and it is far more dangerous.
If you strip a corporation of its assets its value goes to zero. You thereby strip its owners, the stockholders (which may include me) of their property. That severely impacts my individual liberties.

Every president for the last century has grabbed more power than the one before him
Sorry, you're off by 15 years. Harding and Coolidge reduced the power of the government; not until Hoover in 1929 did the relentless trend to tyranny begin.
The Whiskey Rebellion in 1791 came after the new Constitution. Apparently bigger government wasn't the solution.
It occurs to me that having a government murderous enough to quash all rebellions is worse than having rebellions.
Marriages are fucking contracts.
Actually, in most states a fucking contract can get you jailed.
From your criticism of local standards I can't tell if you're supporting national/international standards or individual standards, so I'll point out the flaws in both. In the sense of a standard meaning a criterion the same for everyone, "individual standard" is an oxymoron. National education standards ends up with the censorship of history so common in totalitarian governments.
The standards of education need to be appropriate for the community. It's pointless to teach Eskimos to surf or Hawaiians to build igloos. At the other extreme, not every parent is capable of defining educational goals for their children; illiterates can't be allowed to prevent their children from reading.
The answer to the question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is... Four day work week, Two ply toilet paper!
