Yes, there needs to be limitations set to the 1st amendment of Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Speech does means that people can speak there minds and protest about what they want, and voice their opinions, but it does not mean they can be mean an abusive towards others. People need to know how to use their own judgement to decide what is right to say and what isn't. Like the movie we watched in when the girl committed suicide because of what was said to her, that is complete abuse of the freedom of speech law. When the founding fathers wrote that they wanted people to interpret is as you could voice your opinion in a proper way, not that you could go around saying whatever you want to people and causing harm to them in the process. The limitations that should be set should be set by the people. because we are the ones who choose to abuse it.

I completely agree with this, the freedom of speech is American and is 100% to benefit not hurt the American people. As I said in class Americans are given the right to carry a gun. However this does not mean they can abuse that right by shooting someone. This is because the gun is for protection similar to how the freedom of speech is for speaking out for what’s right and protesting what you don’t agree with. If the American people can see the law this way it will only benefit us and prevent future issues.
