Freedom of Expression

Question 7 • {MDVA} Civics and Citizenship [Semester Only]

What does the First Amendment guarantee regarding speech and the press? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
Citizens can threaten others.
B
Citizens can express views on politics and other topics with some limits.
C
Citizens can make false statements about others.
D
Citizens can criticize political figures.
E
Citizens can lead prayers in public schools.

Explanation

The First Amendment protects freedom of speech and of the press, including expressing views on political and other topics and criticizing public officials. These freedoms have limits: for example, they do not give people an unrestricted right to make threats or defamatory false statements. Leading prayers in public schools is not a speech-and-press guarantee; public schools may not sponsor religious prayer.
