Summary/Abstract: The author examines the law of free expression in the United States, where over the last century, the Supreme Court has developed several principles that serve as cornerstones of the its current First Amendment jurisprudence. First, whether the Supreme Court considers speech to be "high-value" or "low-value" determines the level of protection speech receives under the First Amendment. Second, whether a regulation of speech is "content-based" or "content-neutral" also affects whether the Court finds the regulation to be constitutional. Finally, the governmenťs ability to regulate speech occurring on government property - e.g., public parks, streets, and libraries - may vary depending upon the type of property involved. These three foundational principles are discussed in greater detail.
