Freedom of Speech is found in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment prevents the federal government from arbitrarily and unnecessarily interfering with an individuals speech. Through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, this protection is extended to prevent similar actions by state governments.

We do have freedom of speech, especially when compared to certain Dictatorship run countries. But, with freedom of speech comes responsibility. For instance, while we could enjoy the freedom to criticise the Government, we would not expect to be able to incite a riot on the Government. Nor would we expect to verbally slander someone and not risk being sued by the person we have slandered.
