Assignment:
Please read the attached Syllabus.
First Assignment: Please read the U.S. Constitution, CB lix-lxxiii, Two proposals to Amend the U.S. Constitution, (attached), and the Introduction and Overview of Freedom of Speech, CB 931-946.
We will start with the Freedom of Speech Section as listed in the Syllabus. If you have the time and inclination, read Schenk, Frohwerk, and Debs, CB 946-950, 954 (Note 1 and first paragraph of Note 2). We will probably not reach those cases until at least the second class.
After we finish Brandenberg v. Ohio, I will have you do a short essay on whether the statements by President Trump are protected speech or can be used to prosecute him for violation of a statute making seditious conspiracy a crime. Documents will be sent to you by email later during the semester.
