Underlying all of these freedoms is the concept of free expression. The book introduces high school and college students to the social and political aspects of the First Amendment. In addition, there is a legal analysis and an explanation of some of the most important court decisions about the First Amendment. Included in this book are videos Dr. Dwight Teeter, a noted First Amendment historian and scholar, and John Seigenthaler, founder of the First Amendment Center. This book is part of the Intercollegiate Online News Network Journalism series. |
