Arguments for my position:
The first
amendment protects the
freedom of speech and religion for people to have the freedoms to
say or
support whatever they want. People need some censoring against
very extreme or
offensive free speech in online settings.
Argument #1: The first amendment has been around for hundreds upon
hundreds of years as Americans have followed these beliefs since the
beginning of our nation . The First amendment is an important right
as freedom of speech allows everyone to have the right to their own
opinions and protest actions they don't believe in. "One of
the founding principles of the United States that Americans
cherish is the right to freedom of speech." (Gonchar)
Argument #2: This right to free speech is used in all aspects of
life especially in a court setting where a accused criminal isable
to defend himself and his freedom during a trial. In many other
countries people don't have this right. This right also has the
ability to keep the government out of personal matters like
religious beliefs." FirstAmendment’sfree
exercise clause prohibits deliberate religious persecution anddiscriminationby
the government." (Decker )
