Just got done reading this book, It was very well written considering the author is a woman writing a male lead character. I couldn't do that!

In the First Amendment, freedom of speech is expressly guaranteed, ensuring the right of citizens to assemble for any government-related purpose. Equality of association covers the actions of those gatherings and the structure of them. Examples of freedom of expression here in the United States include criticism of the government and the advancement of theories or opinions that some would perceive to be divisive. In the U.S., under the limits of the "offense principle," or the "harm principle," these types of statements are permitted. I hope this helps.
