The First Amendment of the United State's Constitution says, "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 peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Regrettably this was later interpreted by a variety of Supreme Court decisions in which "make no law" was held to mean "make a variety of laws for a variety of reasons".

("Hate speech", "Clear and present danger", "SLAPS test", "Shouting 'fire' in a crowded theater", "Classified Information", "Free Speech Zones", "Insider Trading", "FCC regulations", "Truth in Advertising", "Electioneering Laws", "Community Standards", etc.)
