The First Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that
"Congress shall make no law... Abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press...". This language restricts government both more and
less than it would if it were applied literally. It restricts
government more in that it applies not only to Congress, but to all
branches of the federal government, and to all branches of state
and local government. It restricts government less in that it
provides no protection to some types of speech and only limited
protection to others. This book provides an overview of the major
exceptions to the First Amendment -- of the ways that the Supreme
Court has interpreted the guarantee of freedom of speech and press
to provide no protection or only limited protection for some types
of speech. For example, the Court has decided that the First
Amendment provides no protection to obscenity, child pornography,
or speech that constitutes "advocacy of the use of force or of law
violation... Where such advocacy is directed to inciting or
producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or
produce such action."
