"In America, what speech is not protected by law"

 

In USA,What words are not protected by the law

 

   Many people know, America a "bill of rights", is the earliest Congress passed several constitutional amendments.

   America statehood, "constitution" the fifth chapter, Congress can pass a constitutional amendment; more than 2/3, can be combined to amend the constitution, bill. When an amendment is passed, will be considered as part of the constitution, effect is equivalent to the main body of the constitution.

   America "constitution" enacted since 1789, its main frame and main principles had not had any changes, but from 1791 to 1992 200 years, has adopted the 27 amendment, the first 10 amendments proposed in September 25, 1789, December 15, 1791 approved the rights, mainly involves the legislative, judicial, known as the "bill of rights" (Bill of Rights).

   The first 10 amendments, is also the first amendment, is about the protection of freedom of speech and the press rules -- Congress shall make no law about the following matters: establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, the freedom of speech, or of the press; the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of rights.

   USA so the freedom of speech, because they think -- first, different voices some negative, discontent may be correct; second, negative, with different sound if the vent does not come out, anger may accumulate, eventually forming the harm to society.

   Of course, the protection of the rights of freedom of speech is a continuous improvement process. Before the 60's of the last century, are not in the protection of criticism of the government, political dissent, opposition to conscription speech, President Jefferson was arrested many of the government make carping comments on the newspaper reporter and editor, later, the Supreme Court ruling, the government critics are protected by law, political dissent in not put practice, protected by law, the military service law of different speech in not put into practice, but also protected by law. In addition, the Supreme Court held that the parade, people USA flag burning behavior, but is a way to express the people's discontent, is the embodiment of the people of the freedom of speech, protected by law -- this Congress is unhappy, had stipulated: any flag burning without permission of burning behavior is illegal. The bill passed in the Congress, some members of Congress held a celebration party, made a big cake, cream coated with a big America flag above, finally will cut the cake with a knife, mouth will "flag" -- can be eaten after the Supreme Court ruled that the most, the provisions of the Congress is illegal, because Congress had no power to restrict freedom of speech.

   Therefore, American mouth looks than any country in the human mouth is powerful, but may make other people feel touched its privacy and dignity, dare to say what, what can be said; in addition to the neighbors and ordinary people, want to scold scold the president President, want to scold scold the government government; in addition to hold things shouting to blow up this blow up the, want to express what political opinions issued what political opinions, even shouting support for Laden, Hitler worship.

   Of course, American freedom of speech is not "absolute freedom", the following is not protected by the Constitution --

   1, flag desecration or burned draft cards of symbolic speech;

   2, endanger public safety;

   3, cause the harm of public order in the violence of speech;

   4, disturb the quiet in class of speech;

   5, rumors of health non speech;

   6, obstruction of the rights of others speech;

   7, to the freedom of speech and freedom of assembly or city traffic or violate traffic rules;

   8, the prisoner's remarks;

   9, the military's remarks;

   10, the candidate speech at the military base;

   11, abuse others thus provoke conflict talk;

   12, dirty dirty;

   13, howlings remarks;

   14, congress speech exemption does not guarantee of speech;

   15, breach of contract and state secrets claims;

   16, pornographic books and periodicals;

   17, use false commercial advertising;

   18, libelous remarks.

   So, any place, any time there is no absolute things, America "freedom of speech" is not in place, what to say what say what is in, also not want to what people say what to what people are saying. Moreover, compared with the US Chinese, American men about women's speech should be more cautious and careful, lane is bad to can be transmitted on the court, serious to squat a yard.

   USA on "sexual assault" disposal of great intensity, rape, obscene women especially in adult women, is to be convicted of a felony, for no real behavior "sexual harassment" punishment, is quite severe. For example, say jokes in front of female to female mobile phone short message, hair yellow, in the face of women to make indecent action, even the expression of love and praise for women, they may be referred to as "sexual harassment". Once considered a "sexual harassment", things are serious -- in addition to reputation damaged, probably also with the economic loss, or even the loss of personal freedom "". Like we Chinese men regardless of the occasion act recklessly and care for nobody to tell off color jokes, regardless of the object, not scruple to send yellow message, even in the face of women to make extremely indecent action, early don't know how many times, how many people get caught up.
