Freedom of speech is what makes us proud to be an American. The freedom to think‚ speak and protest as we please. The freedom of speech is as dynamic as our use of the language. Just what is protected under the first amendment? To understand what is protected under the first amendment we have to look at how it is written in the constitution. Congress cannot abridge a person ’s "freedom of speech." In other words Congress can restrict what you say but it cannot stop you from saying it. (Kersch 3)

Free Speech vs. Harmful Hate Speech Freedom of speech is instilled at the beginning of the Bill of Rights and it allows citizens of the United States to express their opinions without being afraid of what might happen to them‚ much like in other countries.

Free speech is a right that every human on earth should have. Ideas and words should be a free market‚ no one idea should be suppressed‚ no one idea sould be granted special treatment under the law. Let debates decide dominant ideas‚ not by censoring them.

The people that agree with me would probably state
