Freedom of the press

dreams. We owe all that to our Veterans the ones who risked their life for our country and made the ultimate sacrifice because without them we would be no where. Freedom I think is the best right in America. It means we can be whoever we strive to be or accomplish whatever we strive to do. We can pick our own religion and we have freedom of speech. This means that no one can tell you what religion to believe or keep you from voicing your opinion. That is all because of our Veterans who fought…

Tommi Christoff HUM 1020 Journal #7: Freedom Freedom is a lot of things—we’re given freedom as a right; the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and freedom to peaceably assemble—it’s all in the first amendment. Freedom is something that has been fought over time and time again in history. Freedom is the choices we make every day. Freedom maybe is something we take too lightly as an American. We read about the hardships other men and women face in other countries all…

Burger wrote the opinion on the Nebraska Press Association v. Stuart that came to the conclusion of there was not enough evidence to make the trial a closed trial. At the beginning of the trial, the judge considered the hearing for having a closed trial, but it took him to long to come to a decision.

In 1891, the Bill of Rights was revised with the addition of The First Amendment. The First Amendment was gained in contemplation of individuals protection of rights for free speech, free press, freedom to assemble, freedom to contact and lobby government. Withal, it is mystifying to some citizens whether or not the benefit to contact and lobby government was intended to be granted to individuals only rather to businesses & other organizations. I would have to say both; but to a certain…

What Freedom Means to Me In 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered what he didn’t know to be America; the symbol of freedom. Freedom can be described differently depending on situation. Back then, freedom was escaping the British. Now, freedom is getting out of school early. Freedom to me is being able to live a normal life without unfair rules holding us back. It is the way of life because people fought for us. Wake up. Go to school. Go home. Sleep. Repeat. It is something that every child in…

If the Newseum is torn down, the first amendment will not have a place to be celebrated just for itself, so there will be no place to celebrate the first American Constitutional freedom. President Trump is pressuring Congress into passing a bill that will start a project to make room for new monuments. The project will consist of tearing down monuments that the government feels are unnecessary. The project will ruin DC and the American spirit. If the bill does pass, the Newseum should…
