Freedom of speech is one right that is one of the most important values found in America. America is known as a country where there is complete freedom of speech and if we see theoretically then it is true as the First Amendment itself says that “Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press” (Barbour and Wright, 2017, pg. 137). But in practice we see that this is not completely practiced. Freedom of speech has been limited by the government quite a number of times especially during the wartime and therefore, I think that this right to freedom of speech needs to be extended and not limited.
