The First Amendment to the Constitution is meant as an acknowledgment of an inherent right, rather than a granting of rights that can be restricted or revoked for so-called necessity. This Amendment is meant to limit government interference with this natural right, rather than to confine it to a realm of "acceptable speech." An important corollary to the right to speech is the right to silence. | The First Amendment to the Constitution is meant as an acknowledgment of an inherent right, rather than a granting of rights that can be restricted or revoked for so-called necessity.
