    United States. As PBS states, “The court famously analogized to man who cries ‘fire!’in a crowded theater … ‘the most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic” (PBS). The effects of the court case are seen today when courts restrict speeches that cause a clear and present danger. This gives more authoritarian power for courts to interpret what is a “clear and present danger” further limiting the rights of the people. It is not to be confused with threat rhetoric that is not protected under the First Amendment.…

    Freedom of expression is a uniquely American tradition, at least to the extent we have here. Amy Witherbee, a researcher who studies how democracy and censorship go hand and hand said “At the core of censorship is always a parallel belief in the ability of an idea to alter lives and change nations. The challenge is to let those ideas wreak their havoc, and trust in our capacity as the citizens of a democracy to make of the damage something better than what was there before. If, on the other hand, we close down the arguments, retract the controversies, and avoid the challenges, then what we have is not a real democracy, but a nation afraid to lead itself” (Witherbee Par. 12). The First amendment is in place to protect citizens from censorship.…

    One of the actions of the federal government was they took all the Japanese American citizens from their home from any age to camps only because were of Japanese decent not because they committed a crime just because Japanese decent. One of the reason they relocated them is because of the attack of Pearl Harbor and the American citizens became fearful of the ethnic Japanese because some officials and citizens thought they were spy’s while that was happening more Japanese were settling near the west coast shortly near the end of the century.

    Speaking freely and being able to say what people want is taken for granted. To put it another way, many citizens do not realize that this has contributed in making laws and allowing civilians to express what they feel about the government. In some countries, the citizens do not have freedom of speech, and criticizing their government would result by being punished. One country in particular, North Korea, has very few rights and is the most repressive countries in the world (Sargent, Korea). Furthermore, if this right was not created, then the government would have more power than it should.…

    Since the dawn of governance in time immemorial the limits of freedom of speech have been periodically championed by liberalists in the practice of government criticisation and scrutiny from the Romans to the Kingdom of Great Britain to even the very foundation of modern United States of America. The heroic champions of the aforementioned liberty are often targets of death threats particularly from conservative communities and oppressive regimes. The concept of freedom of speech often are severely redacted by legislation for speculative factors which are heavily draconian. For instance in United States of America, legislation enacted in 1918 which is commonly known as Sedition Act stated that people or countries cannot say negative things…
