Problem: Use the case of free speech to explain and illustrate whether or not civil liberties are unlimited or not. Begin by defining liberties and explaining why they are important to individuals in a democratic republic. Give at least 3-4 standards for how speech is protected and /or unprotected or limited in the US? Then, we are currently seeing people brave a pandemic to exercise free speech to promote Black Lives Matter. When is the government justified in restricting such protests given the health threat and when are the protestors justified in still assembling? Apply the standards you have laid out in the essay to explain this tenuous situation between public safety and individual civil liberties.
