Question

, describe one way that a citizen could abuse the right to free speech. What kind of consequences do you believe this citizen should receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answers may vary. Students must recall their understanding of the meaning of free speech and assess ways it could be misused. Best answers will identify one to two clear ways that a citizen could endanger other citizens through misuse of free speech (a possible example may be a threat of violence or deliberate misinformation). Best answers will also show critical thought in evaluating this misuse and in establishing a consequence.

Answer 2

A good example is the “N” word. Back in the day it was used as slavery and it’s hate speech. Now different races are using it as a different term while they stay saying that white people shouldnt/can’t say it.
