Without freedom to express one's ideas, democratic values such as the right to criticize government and society become hollow. To protect these freedoms, citizens must understand the roots, of the First Amendment, how it is challenged, and why it is so essential to a free people. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Power of Free Expression in America\u003c\/em\u003e introduces the five freedoms protected by the First Amendment and explores the historic roots of freedom of expression from John Milton's \u003cem\u003eAreopagitica\u003c\/em\u003e to current law.
