Constitutional Connection
Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak without having to be an authoratative figure and to be able to speak with out limits to what you can speak on. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not given in any country and the right is commonly falls short as to what you speak on, such as on slandering untru alligations against others. The right to freedom of speech is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law.
Analysis of the Connection
The freedom of speech is a right that every one exercises without caution. When people exercise their right to the freedom of speech it is usually to object with an idea or sometimes just to voice an opinion. Even though people have the right to the freedom of speech, they still need to careful about what they say. For example, if you were speaking to one of your elders that made you upset, you wouldn't curse them out because of the respect that you are suppose to show to them.
The article talk about how a poll was taking and how 61 % of the nation is opposed to building of the mosque. In m7y opinion this exhibits freedom of speech because the people have the right to say whether or not they want the mosque builded, but just becuase they say they don't doesn' t mean that it will stop it from being built. In some cases, the right to freedom of speech together has help overturn something that it is unwanted in the country, but it is very seldom in which something like that happens.
