A conversation on Freedom Of Speech


Listen Later

Here we discuss the implications of ruling on freedom of speech and what we actually believe it is. We break down several arguments surrounding the idea of it and what the constitution actually means. You don't need a supreme court or a lawyer to interpret the constitution.

Freedom of speech, Right, as stated in the 1st and 14th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, to express information, ideas, and opinions free of government restrictions based on content.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in Schenk v. U.S. (1919): a restriction is legitimate only if the speech in question poses a “clear and present danger”—i.e., a risk or threat to safety or to other public interests that is serious and imminent. Many cases involving freedom of speech and of the press also have concerned defamation, obscenity, and prior restraint
