Nevertheless, there is great disagreement over what is and what is not Constitutional.
The most common example is probably whether or not you can shout "Fire" in a crowded theatre/gathering/whatever.
The Constitution says Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. Yet if you incite a riot by faking a disaster through your speech, you'll rightly be charged and locked up. What's the deal there?
Ls would agree that fraud is aggression. But the C says speech can't be abridged. Doesn't say anything about truth of that speech.
Somebody has to resolve this question. Who does it in your world?
