They didnt want to lose control of the people. The church was one of the main forms of government at the time. They didn't want the people to leave the faith and learn more about Gallilaos work.

Galileo figured out that the earth revolved around the sun (or he built on that theory). The Catholic church however, taught that the earth was the center of the universe. IF they were proved wrong (and they were) people would question their other doctrines and teachings, and so they wanted Galileo to keep quiet about his discoveries.

Why was it difficult for American forces to defend themselves against Japanese fire
Ivanshal [37]
I don't know what you're referring to, and don't think it was much different than defending against a number of well-armed, trained, and disciplined troops. If anything, the German Army in WWII was a really tough bunch. 

<span>Two things may show some differences, however, at least in the war in the Pacific. Japanese were far more willing to fight to the last man, rather than surrender, whereas most German units would stick the white flag up when it was clear that they had lost the engagement, and had no retreat. In "island hopping", the US also took on extremely fortified Japanese positions that were not destroyed with even massive bombing and naval fire</span>

Answer and Explanation:

I believe that freedom of expression is one of the most important rights defended by the first amendment. This is because we human beings are rational animals and we need to expose our thoughts and emotions to a certain subject, mainly when that subject involves social well-being and criticizes it for controversial and disadvantageous government attitudes.

An example of how free speech is important can be seen in the "Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District" case when a school banned students from showing their views on how the US handled its wars and abused nations more sensitized.
