Civil Rights Refers to positive actions the government should take to create equal conditions for all Americans.
Free Speech Three types of free speech... 1. Pure speech... 2. Speech-Plus... 3. Symbolic Speech
Pure Speech The verbal expression of thoughts and opinions before a voluntary audience. The courts have generally provided strong protection of pure speech from government regulation.
Speech-Plus Involves actions, such as demonstrating or protesting, as well as words. Not generally protected as strictly as pure speech because actions can be physically dangerous. Demonstrators may not obstruct traffic, endanger public safety, or trespass illegally
