About Online Lecture

Ever since the American Revolution, Americans have had a long-standing tradition of free speech and assembly. These rights are protected by The First Amendment of our Constitution - "Congress shall make no law..." However, the Amendment also has limitations that we must explore more deeply when we consider some controversial United States Supreme Court decisions. 

You will learn about: 

1. The content of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

  • Text of the Amendment 
  • Historical and conceptual origins of Freedom of Speech and Assembly  

2. The limitations on Freedom of Speech and the Constitutional principles addressing:  

  • Clear and Present Danger (Schenck v. US (1919) 
  • Fighting Words (Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942)
  • Obscenity (Miller v. California (1973)) 
  • Child pornography

3. Controversial US Supreme Court decisions such as:  

  • The Flag Burning case (Texas v. Johnson (1986)) 
  • The Brandenburg/KKK case (Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969))

4. Other controversial Constitutional concepts including 

  • Hate speech 
  • Child Pornography  
  • Speech related to abortion activist demonstrations  

5. Connections between post-colonial attitudes and Freedom of Speech and Assembly 

We will end with a cross-cultural analysis emphasizing imperial hegemony and well-known cases of intolerance towards dissenting speech, such the Salmon Rushdie incident.
