摘 要:人们对于言论自由的追求从来都没有停止过。在当下的互联网环境中,诸多因网络发言而引发的刑事案例屡次将言论自由的相关话题推向舆论的风口浪尖之上。本论文以美国言论自由发展历史为主线,考察了其言论自由的尺度和权力对言论自由的干预。研究发现,宪法第一修正案的出台,使得美国人民的言论自由有了宪法的依据。其中第一条修正案规定:“国会不得指定任何法律剥夺人民言论或出版的自由。”在给予人民言论自由保障的同时,也对这项权力进行了有效的限制和界定,言论自语权力作为基本人权神圣不可侵犯,但在行使这项权利时,不得诽谤他人以及危害国家安全。因此,言论自由无论是从狭义上单纯的言论自由还是广义中的言论自由、出版自由、新闻自由都以宪法作为保障,但它和其他基本自由一样,是法律基础上的自由。7437
