Overview
Freedom of speech is specifically mentioned in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, but it does not provide blanket permission for people to say whatever they want, whenever they want, and wherever they want. In this activity, students will discuss these protections and limitations, as well as explore some Supreme Court decisions that have impacted this constitutional right.
