in the Constitution does it say,<br />
“It’s a free country”? Amendment<br />
1 of the Constitution does<br />
not include the words “freedom<br />
of expression” but over time it<br />
has been ruled to include limits<br />
to the freedom of speech/<br />
press/assembly for defamation,<br />
perjury, contempt of court, hate<br />
speech, size of public demonstrations,<br />
trade secrets, noise<br />
pollution, classified information<br />
and treason. Study the Constitution,<br />
know your rights, and<br />
know what it says and does not<br />
say.<br />
