The First Amendment declares that 'Congress shall make no law . . .
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press. . . . ' Yet, in
the following two hundred years, Congress and the states have
sought repeatedly to curb these freedoms. The Supreme Court of the
United States in turn gradually expanded First Amendment protection
for freedom of expression but also defined certain categories of
expression_obscenity, defamation, commercial speech, and 'fighting
words' or disruptive expression-as constitutionally unprotected.
From the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798 to the most recent cases to
come before the Supreme Court, noted legal scholar David M. O'Brien
provides the first comprehensive examination of these exceptions to
the absolute command of the First Amendment, providing a history of
each category of unprotected speech and putting into bold relief
the larger questions of what kinds of expression should (and should
not) receive First Amendment protection. O'Brien provides readers
interested in civil liberties, constitutional history and law, and
the U. S. Supreme Court a treasure trove of information and ideas
about how to think about the First Amendment.
