Freedom of speech and the press are the fundamental personal rights, or liberties.

There is no democracy without freedom of expression. Yet, it is impossible to grant every citizen complete freedom of expression for reasons of pornography, obscene forms of expression, sabotage and calls for a violent overthrow of the government.
