Overview

In comparison with nearly every other provision of the Bill of Rights, the language of the free speech and press clause of the first amendment is remarkably straightforward. This book describes and analyzes the considerations that have governed these interpretations, covering such areas as obscenity, libel, commercial fraud, and the appropriateness of special licensing for the electronic.
