Five basic freedoms? Hmmm... let's see.
Maybe they're as follows?
Religion - as long as it's Mr Right Wing JEEEESSSSSUUUUUUSSSSS!!
Speech - the right to speak - but not to be heard
Press - the right of five mega-corporations to brainwash you endlessly
Assembly - the right for the police to shoot you with rubber bullets
Petition the government - not that they take any notice . . .
Look 'em up in a history book some time.
They were good while they lasted!

There are 20-ish enumerated personal rights contained in the first 10 amendments, plus the 9th and 10th which are broad.
five in the 1st, one each in the 2nd and 3rd, two or three in the 4th (depending on how you classify them), five in the 5th, five in the 6th, one in the 7th, and three in the 8th.
