The freedom of speech allows the people in the United States to express their opinions or feelings without being restrained from the government, this amendment does include various restrictions such as any illegal activity that can harm an individual.  In the article, the author includes various examples in the restrictions and limitations found in the freedom of speech. The article further explains that it quite difficult to differentiate the forms of speech that should and should not be protected by this right. Along with this right, comes along quite the controversy because it is debated on whether the government draws reasonable limits on the freedom of speech. In the case of Brandenburg v. Ohio, it is explained that the the racist commentary by Ku Klux Klan is protected by the freedom of speech because although it is speech that it quite provocative and offensive towards many individuals, it doesn't t necessarily result in any form of violence. Cases such as this one can cause many altercations and controversy because many people argue that the language used by the KKK is harmful and degrades the mental health of the race the group targets. The Supreme Court determines that speech that are threatening, fighting words, and misleading advertisements are not protected by the freedom of speech. An example being that a person cannot falsely yell "bomb" or "fire" in public settings because in result of these words, there is a high chance that someone can be harmed. #whatshouldthefreedomofspeechprotect #controversialcontstitutionalright
