Freedom of Speech
Freedom of speech is the Constitutional right to communicate one’s opinions and ideas, using one’s body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them.
First Amendment Law & Litigation
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
First Amendment law includes not only individual rights of speech and religion, but also the rights of businesses to express their message. In either case, the First Amendment protects our most fundamental rights.
