Our founding fathers signed a very important document on September 17, 1787 that contained ideas unique to that time. He formed a new government that lasted for over 200 years. The United States Constitution gives Americans rights at birth that continue until death. One of the most important rights is found in Amendment I, or more precisely, freedom of speech. Freedom of expression gives everyone the right to express or speak their opinions without any restrictions. Americans across the country use this right every day, from putting bumper stickers on their cars to protesting their beliefs. As Americans, we should not limit free speech. While this allows hate speech toward people of different ethnicities, races, sexual orientations, and other groups, it also allows people to support these groups. Another positive element of freedom of speech is that it allows everyone to express themselves and their opinions without being penalized by authorities and is a way for people to control the government. Freedom of expression is of great importance in American society. Free speech is extremely important because of its ability to allow Americans to express themselves and their views on certain ideas. It also allows them to express themselves as they wish. This includes wearing clothes, arguing, and just talking. Many cases have been fought and gone all the way to the Supreme Court regarding free speech, such as Tinker v. Des Moines in 1969. Mary Beth Tinker "and a group of students decided to wear black armbands to school to protest the war in Vietnam" and "were suspended." "Because wearing a black armband was not disruptive, the Court held that the First Amendment protected the right to study... middle of paper ... or not allow a portion of people , the haters, to speak and let the other side, the supporters, speak. This would mean that one group of people has more power than the other because they have a certain right while the others do not. have no. It would be unconstitutional. An individual would run into this major problem by trying to limit free speech. Limiting free speech would be a serious mistake. It was created in the Constitution in 1776 and has lasted longer. 200 years for good reason If we limit free speech, we would limit hurtful speech as well as its positive counterparts. Moreover, limiting it would deprive us of our right to express ourselves, our opinions and our right to. controlling the government without any restrictions from public officials Many would like to limit free speech, but if you think about it, that would be extremely atrocious..
