Description
I investigated the link between political violence and unethical rhetoric and the importance of ethical debate. I researched the First Amendment's protection of speech. Rhetoric that will incite immediate violence or intentional, defamatory misinformation is unconstitutional. I found that ethical debate is respectful, truthful, and possesses integrity. Lastly, I discovered how important ethical debate is for democracy.
