DESCRIPTION:

The Constitution’s First Amendment establishes our freedoms of speech, of press, of religion, to assemble peaceably, and to petition our government to redress our grievances. In this course we will examine the background of issues such as time, place, or manner restrictions on protected speech; political dissent; school prayer; obscenity; commercial speech; and campaign finance. We will pass out United States Supreme Court decisions to the members of the class so that they can read them and decide what they think about them.
