Freedom of Speech Freedom of Speech One of our most basic rights in the United States is the freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech has roots in ancient times and far away places.
In the modern world people in free countries often take their rights and freedoms for granted. In fact they rarely, if ever, consider what rights and freedoms they have. The media expresses various criticisms of the president, companies, or the legal system. Often these opinions are supported by facts and experts in the various fields. Countries such as the United States and England enjoy such freedoms in their everyday life.
