Question

To what extent, if any, has the court promoted both the common good and individual liberty

Answer 1

The High Court has interpreted concepts like the First Amendment in ways that have covered both parts of social interaction. The Court has found that individual liberty to express oneself freely, worship without coercion, and to gather without recompense is to be protected, but the common good is to be promoted by also placing limits on just how far these strictures can be stretched before they become a danger to overall community well-being, such as when groups are gathering or people have made statements that are known to be inciting danger to others.
