Episode Two examines the legal architecture protecting free speech, focusing on the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and its global counterparts. The episode explores the historical context of the Bill of Rights, the Founders' intent, and early challenges like the Sedition Act of seventeen ninety-eight. It traces how American free speech protections evolved from weak beginnings to becoming among the world's strongest. The episode compares the American approach with those of the United Kingdom, France, Canada, and India, revealing how different democracies balance expression against competing values like dignity, security, and social cohesion. Finally, it examines traditional limits on speech including libel, obscenity, and national security restrictions, demonstrating that free speech has never been absolute.
