Criticism of government finds sanctuary in several portions of the 1st Amendment. It is part of the right of free speech. It embraces freedom of the press.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen.
It seems that the right of freedom of speech that was enshrined in numerous constitutions is now under attack by religious institutions.
Free speech is the cornerstone to every right we have.
No one respects the First Amendment more than I do. People have a right to express their concerns and their hopes and dreams to their government.
It just seems to be a human trait to want to protect the speech of people with whom we agree. For the First Amendment, that is not good enough. So it is really important that we protect First Amendment rights of people no matter what side of the line they are on.
The critical point is that the Constitution places the right of silence beyond the reach of government.
Free speech rights means that government officials are barred from creating lists of approved and disapproved political ideas and then using the power of the state to enforce those preferences.
The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.
We all have the right of freedom of speech under the First Amendment. We all don't have to agree with one another on our opinions. Everyone in my circle, that I run around with, we all feel the same about God, country, integrity and character.
Freedom of speech means freedom for those who you despise, and freedom to express the most despicable views. It also means that the government cannot pick and choose which expressions to authorize and which to prevent.
