Putting yourself back in time and as either an elite, lower class, or woman of that period, what do you think you would have thought about free speech being added? Would you have agreed or not agreed?

Awareness of History
The current topics of our class discussions all sprout from the history of how Free Speech came to be a right in the first place. I think it is interesting to look at the fight put up then and how similar it is to ours today. Even more so I find it interesting to think about why free speech is a right. In class we had to look back, and put our minds at a period of time we are not very familiar with to look into the reasons why and how free speech was amended into the constitution.

Well, I'm more comfortable talking about general history rather than political history. As for being a woman of the period, I think a lot of it would depend on what area I was in and how influenced I was by the men or women around me. I hope you made the play! I didn't get the chance to ask you.
