USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Freedom of speech, of the press, of association, of assembly and petition–this set of guarantees, protected by the First Amendment, comprises what we refer to as freedom of expression.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main problem with the First Amendment, however, is that it overprotects speech. We take pride in protecting the speech we hate and in tolerating speech that offends.

Detailed explanation-3: -The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.

Detailed explanation-4: -The categories of unprotected speech include obscenity, child pornography, defamatory speech, false advertising, true threats, and fighting words. Deciding what is and is not protected speech is reserved to courts of law. The First Amendment only prevents government restrictions on speech.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Bill of Rights is the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. It spells out Americans’ rights in relation to their government. It guarantees civil rights and liberties to the individual-like freedom of speech, press, and religion.
