As I was preparing a presentation on the 1st amendment and freedom of speech for Banned Books Week, I happened by chance on an excellent study whose link I've provided below. As part of the "Constitution Annotated," Its 54 sections start with a discussion on the debates at the Constitutional Convention and then cover the various aspects of free speech including court decisions in great detail.
What I don't understand is why I've never encountered this resource before because I read widely on this issue. I think that it should be readily available on the ALA Website for its excellent information. If it is already there, I wasn't able to easily find it.
