The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.
Frederick Douglass

Questions for Critical Thinking
Questions for Critical Thinking
What do you think is the historical basis for civil liberties? Are people as concerned today about the protection of their civil liberties as were the founders?
Do you think the libel laws restrict a free press? Should the press be allowed to publish anything it wants about a person?
Should the press have to prove that everything published is absolutely true?
