Description

Governments throughout history have struggled to define the boundaries of the right to freedom of speech.

Even though the United States explicitly articulates freedom of speech in the First Amendment to the Constitution, the judicial branch frequently reinterprets the amendment by allowing laws to limit that freedom.

In Reflections on Freedom of Speech and the First Amendment, noted legal theorist George Anastaplo details the history and intellectual foundations of freedom of speech, using examples from Socrates, Jesus, and Sir Thomas More to demonstrate how freedom of speech has evolved over centuries.

Anastaplo pays particular attention to freedom of speech as it relates to the U.S.

Constitution, and he describes potential First Amendment issues, such as cases involving the Internet.

Anastaplo provides an in-depth look at a controversial issue, and he defines freedom of speech in precise terms for both scholars and those interested in one of our most cherished rights.
