What freedoms comprise First Amendment “freedom of expression” rights?
Freedom of speech, of the press, of association, of assembly and petition – this set of guarantees, protected by the First Amendment, comprises what we refer to as freedom of expression. The Supreme Court has written that this freedom is “the matrix, the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom.” Without it, other fundamental rights, like the right to vote, would wither and die.
