As an aside, I think there is a growing concern among politically active moderates in the US that the first amendment is the best we can do, and that more stringent protections couldn't be safely passed in today's hyper partisan environment. There is a sense, true or not, that 1791 had most lawmakers pulling for the same ultimate goal, of a healthy democracy, and that today that spirit has given way to red vs blue zero sum manuvering. So for practical purposes they treat it as the "law bible" - better than anything we could hope for today. |
