Written more than two hundred years ago, these words now protect a wide range of expressive activity. A broad-gauged discussion offreedom of expression in America, this book begins by studying the period after the Civil War and Reconstruction when new and unsettling ideas appeared with great regularity on the American scene. So many of these ideas were floating around during this period that the nation's leaders often joinedforces to repress aberrant notions. In response to such suppression, individuals seeking to better their lives through the expression of new ideas began to demand their rights to speak, write, and associate together to advance their points of view. Blanchard traces this contest for control throughthe Watergate scandal of the 1970s and the Reagan and early Bush administrations. Blanchard presents a lively discussion of freedom of speech ranging from questions of national security to those of public morality, from loyalty during times of national stress to the right to preach on a publicstreet corner. Including examinations of controversies involving the press, the national government, the Supreme Court, and civil liberties and civil rights concerns, Revolutionary Sparks presents a strong case for the right of Americans to speak their minds and to have access to knowledgenecessary for informed self-government. 606 $aFreedom of speech$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFreedom of the press$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aFreedom of speech$xHistory 615 0$aFreedom of the press$xHistory 676 $a323.44/3/0973 700 $aBlanchard$b Margaret A$01558450 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783371203321 996 $aRevolutionary sparks$93822805 997 $aUNINA
