What Is Free Speech?

By Jill Keppeler

Book Overview

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees that Congress "shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech or of the press." But what does that mean? In this easy-to-understand book, readers will learn more about the background and history of the First Amendment and its promises, including freedom of speech. They'll learn what that means--and doesn't mean--and more about common misconceptions about this important right. Accessible text dealing with real-life situations and graphics further explaining the details will draw in anyone interested in knowing about basic American rights.
