Why are the rights and freedoms protected by the first amendment necessary for a democracy to function properly?
I am truly surprised you ask this question. Without the freedom of speech and press the government can not be stopped when it oversteppes its duty to the people. When the government does illegal things a viable press is needed. Watergate is the perfect example of the press uncovering what Nixon did. Protest is also a part of the freedom of speech and the ability to write, film, expose, and even sing about the government. When this is stifled the democracy can not function and it becomes a authoritarian government instead. Be careful of the government or president who tries to limit the freedom of speech.
