The Right to Free Speech

By Karen Fontanetta

The right to speak and write freely is one of the most fundamental rights of any democracy, but it is not an unrestricted right. You cannot make statements in public that unfairly damage another person's reputation, and you cannot say things that will incite others to violent acts. This book examines just how much free speech people have and how they must use this freedom responsibly.
