The First Amendment Violates Our Freedom Of Speech

ISSUE: Does having members who opt out of a union continue to pay agency fees violate the First Amendment to the Constitution?

As Americans citizen we enjoy our rights and freedoms as a society. We enjoy our freedom of speech and our right to choose where to live. With all those freedoms also these rights comes with a legal obligation to uphold and to follow the law of our country. Also there are many American citizens moral obligated to exercise their rights but many times of the case Americans citizens are not forces to legally oblige to follow the law. A good example an American citizen has the right to bear arms but also an American citizen also has the right not to own a weapon. It is really important as an American citizen that we understand the pros and cons of voting.

How much we value the right of free speech is put to its severest test when the speaker is someone we disagree with most. Speech that deeply offends our morality or is hostile to our way of life warrants the same constitutional protection as other speech because the right of free speech is indivisible. However, in recent years, the right to free speech is one of legal and moral ambiguity-What separates offensive free speech from dangerous or threatening (and presumably illegal) hate speech? Under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, every American citizen should be entitled to the right of free expression, thought, and speech. While free speech, including racial, sexist, or otherwise prejudiced remarks, must protected no matter

The First Amendment gives the citizens of the United States their most important rights: the right to freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion, and the freedom of assembly. Over time these rights have worked themselves into the everyday lives of United States citizens. However, there are still places where our First Amendment rights may be compromised. In the school system, finding a balance of respect and freedom of speech and press is as difficult as learning out to tightrope walk. One wrong step and you could be compromising the learning environment of the entire student body.

The president is constantly looking toward the state of nation’s defense. All major decisions and strategies are his to make alone. Likewise, the president is the nation's number 1 political boss. People look to the president as the leader for public opinion. Even though the president seems like he couldn’t take on many other roles, he is also the Chief of State, he is the leader of the rituals of the American Democracy.

The president of the United States is tasked with my roles and responsibilities to the citizens of this nation. In the early beginnings the role of the president was far less chaotic and bogged down as it is today. The twentieth century marked a beginning for the presidential cabinet to take on new roles and wear many, may different hats. The president of the United States, although has limitations, also has many powers and duties to uphold. The president is both the head of the federal government and the chief of state. Throughout history the office of the president has taken on a form of its own. Article II of the Constitution is vague as to the executive powers of the presidency, however, over time, from both learning and observing, the president has been able to define the roles and responsibilities and perform his duties in a manner that is faithfully executed.

The United States is a nation founded on the principal of providing each citizen with a chance to have his or her voice heard, to succeed with his or her dream and to avoid any form of oppression that many countries continue to push on their citizens. As the United States Constitution states, “Congress Shall Make No Law Respecting an Establishment of Religion, or Prohibiting the Free Exercise Thereof; or Abridging the Freedom of Speech, or of the Press; or the Right of the People Peaceably to Assemble, and To Petition the Government for a Redress of Grievances” (U.S. Const. amend. I).

The President of the United States is often considered the most powerful elected official in the world. The President leads a nation of great wealth and military strength. Presidents have often provided decisive leadership in times of crisis, and they have shaped many important events in history. The President has many roles and performs many duties. As chief executive, the President makes sure that federal laws are enforced. As commander in chief of the nation's armed forces, the President is responsible for national defense. As foreign policy director, the President determines United States relation with other nations. As legislative leader, the President recommends new laws and works to win their passage. As

Censorship violates the First Amendment. Therefore, to censor, the Internet would take away from one's freedom of expression and in the United States, I have the freedom to say what I want to say without the government interfering. When it comes to protecting children from inappropriate sites then censorship should be applied. No, it's not ethical because again I have the right to search and accessed any site I want in my free time, but at work then I will follow guidelines.

One of the basic rights is to elect the kind of government citizens believe is the best. People have the right to vote but it is becoming more difficult to. Many Americans do not have the money to afford or cannot obtain the underlying documents that are necessary to obtain voter ID. This is limiting a right of a U.S citizens. Not just voting rights, but also the freedom of speech. Citizens have the right to speak freely without being rejected. Many people are afraid to speak up because of how people can react, even though Americans have the right to speak

In 2015, Presidential candidate Donald Trump proposed that he would consider shutting down mosques in the United States. Now being president, he created an executive order mandating the closure of all mosques which is a violation of The First Amendment of the Constitution which states that the “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Freedom of speech is protected by the first amendment. I support it because It is my individual right to say what I want and not go to jail like other countries, the Bill of rights has this so myself and all Americans can have the freedom to say what they feel like. For the common good people went into the war for the country even though they didn't have the rights to speak after the war and did not have the right to speak after the war “ I went. I did what was expected of me as an American. I did not to run away from my duty. I fought for what I believed in freedom. Was i wrong Memories of Vietnam : War in the First Person” Michael Murphy

Over the course of American history, many have taken the First Amendment right of freedom of speech and created wonderful things out of it. Alice Paul is an excellent example: she utilized her right to free speech and press to promote the equality of women and earned them the right to vote, in the midst of World War I. However, many take it the other way and create hate speeches where they tear down one particular group or individual or idea with their crude and blunt remarks. Yet, they are protected by the freedom of speech and the government cannot interfere with their actions, causing many to argue the First Amendment Right cannot be extended to anyone making hurtful remarks. Hate speeches need to be protected by the freedom of speech, as shown in legal documentation, moral issues, and the benefits it creates.

As Americans, we have the right to protest, and make vocal anything in our society which with we do not agree. We see it happening everywhere today in our country, as people stand for or against movements including LGBT, abortion, Black Lives Matter, and even the recent presidential election. We the people are the only individuals who can make change in this great nation. The only way we can improve this country is by protesting and supporting movements that we find to be just. It is important to stand up for what we believe to be right, because it is our only way of making others aware of how we feel about a certain issue.

The free speech clause of the First Amendment should protect offensive speech. Offensive speech is intuitive. There is no limit to how far the government can go to say what you can not say. Our First Amendment “guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition….It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceable and to petition their government.” (First Amendment).
