The Importance Of Freedom Of Speech: The First Ten Amendments

According to the Bill of Rights, we are afforded the freedom of speech through the first amendment. But this awarding of freedom is only allowed if it goes along with what the general population deems “normal”. During the middle part of the 1900’s many books were banned on political, religious, and moral views. While our society has changed these issues are still prevalent in today’s public views and opinions of author’s work. These books are not “normal” and that is why they play an unprecedented part in literature today. Books written in this era had a different political, religious, and moral atmosphere than those written in the modern day; but these same issues arise in today’s society.

America has given us a gift beyond words, the gift to pursue our happiness. We have everything we could ever need, and even more. We have the liberty to be ourselves, to do what we want with our lives, and if that isn't enough then I don't know what

Free Speech is the American’s most important and used privilege provided by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Every American use this technique to express their beliefs and it is most often attacked freedom by the government. Although many critics argue for the unlimited boundaries and lesser interruption by the government to the freedom of speech, I support the systematical restrictions by the government. In my opinion, the extent of free speech is somewhere it can persuasive to its audience as well as less insulting to its opposing ones. I think it is offensive to insult any religious beliefs for the actions led by some members of the religion. For example, Muslims, we cannot pressure them to move from American

I am writing this letter with concern to two of the amendments written on the US constitution.

Freedom of Speech. The First Amendment. It’s likely the most well-known part of the United States Constitution, and was considered by the founders of our country to be one of the most important pieces of a free society. While in years prior it has generally been agreed upon that free speech - especially political speech - is vital to democracy, today there are some people singing a different tune. There are those who believe that certain offensive speech (or in some cases any and all offensive speech) should be prohibited by law. This idea of restricting offensive verbal content is known generally as ‘political correctness’ and will be referred to as such here. The First Amendment says that “Congress shall make no

Freedom of speech is a right in the first amendment that is allowed to every person. No matter the age, gender, or race every person has a different way of thinking, and it's a right for them to be able to express it. Freedom of speech means that every person has the right to express their opinion without having to worry about society or the law threatening them.We are all different due that we are individuals that think, express and process in a variety of ways.If people are comfortable enough with each other thoughts why do people despise when we express them publicly, even when an opinion is never right or wrong.What we can say is that today's society has changed what freedom of speech means.We have changed the way we express our thoughts

PRIDE; a concept that many Americans seem to be lacking, and something that this nation rightfully deserves. My vision for America is for every citizen to possess within them pride to be a member of the United States. Pride for what this country provides, pride for what this country has overcome, and most of all for what this country stands for.

I am writing about the first amendment which gives people the freedom of speech and it gives people freedom of practicing any religion they want. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, of the press”. To some people the first Amendment is one of the most important Amendments because it gives people the right to say things they want to say, and it gives people the right to practice any religion they want. The reason i chose this Amendment is because I agree with it. I agree with it because we are all different people, and we all practice different religions and so it is only fair that we can practice whatever religion we want. In this

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, “Freedom of Speech” as the First Amendment of the Constitution states, however, just like you said “destroying properties” does not justify whatever it is they are protesting for. I agree with you, someone will always be angry and feel that their rights are not being respected; I don’t think that people will ever come to a total agreement on certain issues, at least not on this world. The Ten Commandments were removed from public schools because someone was offended by it, just like removing "under God" from the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance. As a Christian myself I believe that my rights of freedom of religion are not being respected, when on the other hand someone that is not a Christian can care

America, the land of the free and he home of the brave, but what exactly does this mean to me? Many countries in the world no matter how old or young they may be cannot compare to the Democratic free society created by the blood sweat and tears of pilgrims colonist and slaves. The freedoms and liberties outlined in the Constitution at the time they were written were unheard of. The bravery of the leaders of the Revolutionary war, the Patriots, and the young and the old is the same bravery that all our branches of military have today. Being an American citizen was a blessing that I was born into. However, for other people who were born into less fortunate places would give anything even their lives to get to America.

Dear Teachers, Parents, kids, and Veterans. I strongly believe that everything unique about America will leave a very special gift in everyone’s heart’s. Just like The gifts of Freedom, Pride and Justice, the ones you can never leave behind. It’s extremely significant to note that America has been so offering to us. Not only it has given us many chances, gifts and offers but the thought of making our lives seem so valuable. as khalil Gibran once mentioned that life without liberty is like a body without a spirit.

We the People of the United States, in order to form a perfect union and establish justice, created a Constitution for the good of all in the year of 1789. Two-hundred years later these composition of laws are still relevant to our lives. In these, the First Amendment, which was established into the constitution for the purpose of being conformed and to grant the citizens a guarantee of their basic freedom of speech; however, it appears that both the government and the people of the U.S.did not get the memo. Freedom of expression has always had its opposition; conflicts appearing ubiquitously with clashing interests and morals. The kosher question is does the United States honestly have freedom of speech?

As people of the United States, since we were first formed, we have stood up and put our hands over our hearts for those who have lost their lives for our country, but as time has passed, some of us have stopped standing and or putting our hands over our hearts and holding up fists instead. Is this such a bad thing to do? We as people are required to do the same thing and live the American dream. Every. Single. Day. Ever since preschool or kindergarten, we are supposed to stand up, say the pledge and do it with our hand over our heart. There have been some issues with students sitting down or holding up a fist at the side of them, this is seen as a problem, but as always, there are two sides to everything.

As Americans we are all very lucky to have the right to freedom of speech. It is a powerful tool that helps our society develop and evolves into what it is today. It’s a way for us to share information and ideas, express our mind and even communicate with the government. Freedom of speech is something so important that we practice everyday. However freedom of speech is something that is also very easily abused. We tend to just speak our minds all the time when sometimes we are not even sure what we are talking about. We think that we can say whatever we would like to and its okay because we have the right to free speech right? That is where we are wrong. Free speech isn’t always free, and is actually restricted in many areas.

Freedom of speech is an essential right and freedom guaranteed to the citizens of the United States by the first amendment of the United States Constitution. The right to exercise this freedom, and to what extent, is a debate that has generated considerable discussion between governments, the press, and many international organizations such as WikiLeaks worldwide. In this current technological age of digital information and global social media, there is a growing need to maintain access to sensitive data and to control the release of classified information in relation to National Security, political and cultural affairs between the United States, NATO and NATO allies, and the protection of United States military personnel overseas.
