"This chapter looks at the history and meaning of the two most familiar provisions of the First Amendment, and indeed of the entire Constitution: Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. The importance of free speech and a free press to a functioning democracy is not seriously controverted, which is why in the modern era-meaning, essentially, since the late 1960s-there has been a broad consensus across the political spectrum that robust enforcement of these rights is essential"-- Provided by publisher.
