Free Speech as Civic Structure (eBook, ePUB)

A Comparative Analysis of How Courts and Culture Shape the Freedom of Speech

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines and explains the limited relevance of constitutional text to the scope and vibrancy of free speech rights within a particular national legal system. The author argues that, across jurisdictions, text or its absence will serve merely as a starting point for judicial efforts to protect speech activity.
