The term Freedom of Speech has a definition that can only be interpreted by the United States Judicial Systems.  There are also some administrative lawmaking agencies and Legislators who attempt to interpret the Constitution and create regulations or laws, but in the end, the Judicial System has the final authority in regulating Individual Freedoms.  This paper will discuss reasons or aspects of why Free Speech rights should and should not be regulated more and why I feel our Freedom of Speech should be less regulated.  Freedom of speech is not necessarily limited to the spoken words of the people, it also includes several different forms of Media, for example, Radio, Television, Internet, etc.  Mostly in this paper all forms in general are included in these viewpoints.

“Speech Rights Should Not Supercede Other Individual Rights.”  (Fraleigh & Tuman, 12)  This is extremely similar to the last aspect of conflicting ri...
