1. The First Amendment Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

2. Potential Values Underlying the 1 st Amendment Search for Truth Self-governance Autonomy Dissent When does speech serve/not serve these values?
