Reflections on Freedom of Speech and the First Amendment

The book delves into the complex history and evolution of freedom of speech, particularly in the context of the U.S. Constitution. George Anastaplo explores contributions from historical figures like Socrates, Jesus, and Sir Thomas More, illustrating how the concept has transformed over time. He critically examines the reinterpretation of the First Amendment by the judicial branch and addresses contemporary issues, including those related to the Internet. This work serves as a comprehensive analysis for both scholars and general readers interested in the nuances of this fundamental right.
