Abstract

This paper exploring the Freedom of Speech in the United States Constitutional Law is part of the series “Constitutional Law Around the Globe”. This chapter of the series focuses on “Fundamental Rights and Freedom of Speech” in contemporary democracies. First in the row, this paper analyzes the Freedom of Speech in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and how it has been shaped by the Supreme and lower courts over time, especially on the so-called hate speech. A final paper will approach the legal systems composing the series in a comparative perspective.
