AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.3
How has historical context impacted current interpretations of hate speech as related to the First Amendment?
Hate speech has always been fully protected under all circumstances due to historical precedents.
Precedents set by past court cases have expanded protection for offensive speech but not that which incites violence or poses a true threat.
Historical events have led courts to completely ban hate speech as it infringes upon other individuals' rights.
Most historical contexts have favored limiting hate speech, thereby narrowing its protection under the First Amendment significantly over time.
