Freedom of expression is enshrined in the Constitution as a "sacred
right" of the American people. The appeal is clear: "Congress shall
make no law...abridging the freedom of speech or of the press." Yet
the ink had barely dried on the Constitution before the first
landmark freedom of expression issue exploded onto the scene. This
student resource traces 11 such issues that have polarized the
nation. These events show the variety, complexity, and intensity
that freedom of speech and expression issues engender. Issues
include: BLAlien and Sedition Acts of 1798 BLThe Abolitionist
Movement BLThe Civil War BLThe Comstock Law BLWorld War I BLThe
Cold War and the "Red Menace" BLThe Civil Rights Movement BLThe
Vietnam War BLThe Nazi March on Skokie BLPolitical Correctness and
Free Speech on Campus BLThe Internet These events show the variety,
complexity, and intensity that freedom of speech and expression
issues engender. Magee illustrates how the United States has worked
through these contentious periods with American citizens' freedoms
remaining intact, if not enhanced. An annotated bibliography
follows each issue to provide avenues for further research, and a
timeline and general bibliography provide additional reference
support.
