25 Jul Constitutional Law Freedom Of Speech Paper
I’m working on a criminal justice discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
elect just one topic (below) for your initial thread and then respond to two other students on a different topic. For this discussion board, your initial post, in your own words, should thoroughly and thoughtfully address all aspects of the question . All answers, other than opinion questions, must be supported with data from the text or other scholarly sources (the initial thread must cite a minimum of one sources/citation). If possible, supplement your answer with personal experiences or compare/contrast it with other relevant information.
1. Of all the Amendments in the Bill of Rights, do you think freedom of speech is the most important? Explain.
2. Do you think Americans have too much or too little freedom of speech? Explain.
3. Do you agree that hate speech should be protected by the First Amendment? Explain.
4. Do you think possessing or distributing obscene material should be a crime? Explain.
5. If you had to come up with your own definition of what is obscene, what would it be?
6. If you had to come up with your own definition of “fighting words,” what would it be?
7. If you had to come up with a description of child pornography, what would it be?
