The First Amendment says that Congress “shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” Over the years, the Supreme Court has read that to mean that the government, more broadly, cannot limit free speech. At the same time, the Court has shown great deference to laws intended to protect religious, racial, and sexual minorities.
