Question

NEED HELP(please) The constitution includes the right to free speech and freedom of the press. In a minimum of three well written paragraphs *(don't need three maybe just one)*, respond to the following questions: a) What part of the constitution provides these guarantees? b) Name and describe at least three restrictions or limitations on these guarantees. c) Discuss which of the restrictions you find most important or necessary.

Answer 1

A) The first amendment of the US Constitution guarantees the freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

B) The following are some restrictions on these rights: 1) freedom of speech is limited if the speech presents a "clear and present danger" 2) freedom of the press is limited by defamation laws. Defamation refers to when a writer ruins the reputation of an individual through their reporting. 3) Obscence speech or writings are also restricted.

C) The clear and present danger restriction is probably the most important. This restriction ensures that individuals can be punished for speaking in a manner that can cause harm to a group of individuals.
