Libertas: The Spirit and Struggle of the First Amendment
The Spirit and Struggle of the First AmendmentBy Justin Z. Martinez
Length2h 43m
About this audiobook
"Libertas" is a bold and timely exploration of the First Amendment — the cornerstone of American freedom. From the founding generation's fight for liberty to the digital age's free speech battles, this book uncovers how the First Amendment protects — and challenges — our rights to speak, publish, worship, assemble, and dissent. Blending history, law, and civic philosophy, Libertas is both a warning and a tribute: a call to understand, defend, and cherish the freedoms that define a free people.
