Question
“The Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression does not come without qualifications”. Explain.
✓

Answer

  1. Freedom of speech is one of the essential features of any democracy.
  2. Our ideas and personality develop only when we are able to freely communicate with others. You may disagree with a policy of government, you are free to criticise the government.
  3. You may publicise your views through pamphlet, magazine or newspaper. However, you cannot use this freedom to instigate violence against others.
  4. You cannot incite people to rebel against the government, nor can you use it to defame others by saying false and mean things that cause damage to a person's reputation. This is called freedom of speech with qualifications.
