In western countries the constitutional system, freedom of expression on the citizen made the most clear, the most resolute expression is America First Amendment to the constitution.Ai Mosheng "America news law experts on" the first amendment to the constitution of this paper discusses why the Americans attach so much importance to the first amendment, expression because it guarantees citizens the freedom has the following four important properties and function:
First, the citizens' freedom of expression is the protection of personal self realization.Freedom of expression is an indispensable part of personality development, namely the so-called human nature.Expression of freedom constitute the basic human rights, freedom of expression and deprived of human, is a violation of human rights, as Ai Mosheng says: "expression is thought development, seek knowledge and self-awareness is an indispensable part of.Suppressed beliefs and opinions expressed, is human dignity insult, the negation of human nature."
Second, freedom of expression is the human to reach the truth means.Christian origins of western culture that Westerners are fully aware of, people are limited to animal, human judgment is fragile.Any one person can not make a perfect judgment, it must be added, modified, extract or refusal.In order to pursue the truth, everyone must listen to different opinions about this problem, especially should listen to the opposition.Even if the new opinion is completely wrong, it is put forward, and discussion is also very important, because it can increase the understanding of accepted ideas.
Third, freedom of expression is a method of social members to participate in the national policy.The fundamental principles of democracy in an organized society should be: any individual in the society have formed their own beliefs, and it is free to convey to the rights of others.On this basis, the citizen can be effectively, actively participate in national political life.
Fourth, freedom of expression is the maintenance of social stability and changes of equilibrium method.A free society is a stronger, more closely with the society, the strong and stable and does not rely on violence and oppression, but from every member of society can give full play to their talents and.Stability is not "overwhelming" goal, but a free society the inevitable fruit.Only based on Liberty stable is reliable, long-lasting.
The importance of above four aspects, the first is clearly the freedom of expression itself of "autonomy", in other words, it is "an important part of human rights".Within the category of basic human morality, it is not to be questioned, it is human dignity and the dignity of the person of the axiomatic presentation.And behind the three is the first article of the meaning of "instrumental value".

For many people, the sense of moral responsibility and a more positive aspects: this responsibility is not only to establish individual belief, and the belief to convey to others, for the sake of their respect and care, out of an irresistible desire to uncover the truth, justice and security interests.If the government thinks some people's belief that they are of no value of the participants and to cancel them to exercise this responsibility qualifications, the government is the positive aspects of obstructing and deprive people of the moral personality.As long as the government of a person to implement political domination and for his political tame any kind of two attributes -- it may not deprive him of his moral responsibility in (whatever it was he had to rely on or preaches how hateful), but is stripped of his equal voting rights -- if it is really so, the government has lost the basis of it to the legal power that has.The government banned public expression of certain social inclination or interest, the government openly censoring political speech errors compared, both errors; citizen is committed to the formation of moral or aesthetic atmosphere, have the same rights and political participation.
