Freedom of Speech

In Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, Thomas Jefferson along with fellow high ranking government officials wrote the Declaration of Independence. This article till this day serves as our guideline of set boundries and rights of freedom. One amendment in particular, the first states the following : 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 …

Government and others have tried to block ones rights of the First Amendment as in the cases of both Eminem and Tupac in history, but in the end the First Amendment comes out on top and the artist continues to make music and they are free to practice their right of freedom of speech.
