As America approaches its 250th anniversary, free speech and press freedom face unprecedented threats from campus censorship, social media content moderation, and government pressure campaigns. From college students afraid to voice opinions in class to journalists facing investigations, the First Amendment foundations of American democracy are under multiple threats in ways the Founders never imagined.

This volume examines the Supreme Court's landmark decisions relating to First Amendment rights, including the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The book discusses how the Court's actions relating to freedom of expression have evolved over recent decades and in light of recent events. Cases discussed include Alvarez (2012), USAID (2013), Heffernan (2016), Packingham (2017), and Iancu (2019).

Through captivating stories of free speech's many defenders, Mchangama demonstrates how the free exchange of ideas underlies all intellectual achievement and has enabled the advancement of both freedom and equality worldwide.
