Free Speech: An Inalienable Right Over Government Control

Free speech is recognized as an essential and inalienable right that precedes government establishment, reflecting the intentions of the Founding Fathers who prioritized it in the Bill of Rights without restrictions. Historical debates have examined the boundaries of free speech, emphasizing its importance for all citizens rather than just the elite. Modern discussions around censorship, even when framed as protective measures for democracy, are viewed as fundamentally contradictory to the original principles of free speech and American identity.
