Freedom of Speech

Freedom of speech is one of the individual rights guaranteed to American citizens by the Bill of Rights. Yet this right is often tested as people wonder how far it goes. Sometimes, the question travels all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. With accessible and clear text, this absorbing book helps readers explore a key part of the First Amendment and how it has been applied--or not applied--over the years, including its interpretation in key court cases. An inviting design includes historical photographs, fact boxes, and a summarizing graphic organizer.
