The United States is in the midst of a heated conversation over how
the Constitution impacts national security. In a traditional
reading of the document, America uses military force only after a
full and informed national debate. However, modern presidents have
had unparalleled access to the media as well as control over the
information most relevant to these debates, which jeopardizes the
abilities of a democracy's citizens to fully participate in the
discussion. In Freeing Speech, John Denvir targets this issue of
presidential dominance and proposes an ambitious solution: a First
Amendment that makes sure the voices of opposition are heard.
Denvir argues that the First Amendment's goal is to protect the
entire structure of democratic debate, even including activities
ancillary to the dissemination of speech itself. Assessing the
right of political association, the use of public streets and parks
for political demonstrations, the press' ability to comment on
public issues, and presidential speech on national security, Denvir
examines why this democratic model of free speech is essential at
all times, but especially during the War on Terror.
