Isabel Wilkerson Instagram – The Founders, for all of their flaws, were clear on this. They didn’t just say that freedom of speech, of assembly, of religion and the press were important. They didn’t just say that the country should have and uphold those rights. They issued an ironclad edict to bar any future possibility of a potential breach of them. The founders flatly said that “Congress shall make no law….”
It was unmistakable that, for as long as there was a United States, freedom of speech or of the press or assembly should never be in question. It was their unyielding intention that, in a country based in the rule of law, nothing could touch these rights, with Jefferson going so far as to say that he’d prefer the press without a government than a government without the press.
There was little debate as they discussed the First Amendment. On this, the Founders were clear. | Posted on 17/Oct/2025 01:29:32
