@@erickpoorbaugh6728 In the states Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day but was later changed in 1954 to cover all veterans from all of our wars. My neighbor back home actually fought in WWI and had a newspaper with the headline "War is over, Armistice has been Signed!" When he died, my mom got that newspaper and I believe it is still in our house today.

Re: Free Speech - The United States is the only country whose constitution explicitly confers a right of free speech and whose legal system places such strong emphasis on that right. For example, "hate speech" is generally protected under the US Constitution, whereas in the legal systems of other developed countries (and much of international law), the speaker's right to speak freely may be outweighed by the target's right to live peacefully and not be subjected to hate speech. It's a fascinating area of comparative law, and I'm not advocating either strategy here. Just a comment (that I realize you didn't ask for) 😀

The "constitution" part of the UK's "constitutional monarchy" merely means a series of non-statutory traditions adopted to promote the supremacy of the Parliament, and the Government sanctioned by it, over the monarch, buttressed by a few key laws (which of course can be altered or abolished by the Parliament). Even the courts don't know what they're doing.

TheRenaissanceman65, founding fathers of the United States were up against a lot. The whole reason for people leaving Europe was because of the Catholic church and it's ways. That's where "Freedom of Religion" became a thing. At the time of separation, no one could speak badly about the Catholic religion or State because they would be persecuted if they did. Thus, "Freedom of Speech" was born.

TheRenaissanceman65 it’s actually really important to have that right protected. If anyone ever has to go to court for saying certain things, it protects them. This comes in hand during times of protest. Protest itself is also a right but having free speech emphasizes that. Without this protected right, a lot of significant things that has built our country wouldn’t have happened and we might have been where we are at today

The Freedom of Speech in the US Constitution is, per the Founders, especially a freedom of political speech against the government. If you look at the history of England, and for that matter Europe in general, saying things against the monarchy and the feudal lords could get you killed. This is also why freedom of religion is included in the First Amendment along with speech. This ties in to your test question regarding Bloody Mary. She, to quote Wikipedia, "was the Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death. Mary is best known for her aggressive and bloody pursuit of the restoration of Roman Catholicism in England and Ireland in an attempt to reverse the English Reformation of her father, Henry VIII." The Founders of the US did not want that sort of thing to happen here if at all possible. The full amendment is "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Kinder chocolate surprise eggs are still banned by the FDA. It's considered an accidental choking hazard when non-edible contents are surrounded by edible parts. The Kinder eggs that are not banned are the ones that are packaged with two compartments: chocolate candy in one half, toy in the other. This packaging is not considered a choking hazard.

Freedom of speech isn't just in America. The only reason on why American's think that they are the only country with freedom of speech was because there's was more public, whereas the other countries had freedom of speech years before America did.

No we don't have to. We just wanted to see if we would pass if we did.

Just for clarification regarding Freedom Of Speech (I take no side either way) the UK has exceptions to Freedom of Speech "there is a broad sweep of exceptions including threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior" so things you can't legally say in the UK you can say in the US.

I can't believe he called 18 year olds dumb and then got some of those insanely easy questions wrong hahaha

We have Magna Carta

Freedom of speech in the US is ironclad since the freedom is explicitly protected. In the UK, Parliament can - and has - passed exceptions to the freedom, whereas in the US the Constitution itself must be amended (extremely difficult at best, and most often impossible). The fact that it is much easier to curtail freedom of speech in the UK is one of the reasons Americans rightfully brag about the quality of freedom of speech in the USA vs. UK. There's your lesson, Brits. Hope you've learned something (wouldn't that be a refreshing sight!), and ... you're welcome!

+Electronics For Fun lol The Queen can dismiss the government. She can fire the PM. She did this to Australia's government in 1975 to avoid a government shutdown. It is the only one of its kind in Australian modern history, meanwhile the US has had 17 shutdowns since then because there is no adequate balance of power and it is very hard to impeach a President. The Queen can't be held hostage because she has the armed forces. The British Army does not follow the Prime Minister, they take orders from the Queen. Hence, the government can't hold her hostage. Bet you didn't know that... I agree with +TheRenaissanceman65, it's hard to amend and that's what makes it dangerous. The issue is that people technically have the right to say whatever they want in the US, but the US is also a place where PC runs rampant and you end up being controlled even more than a country like the UK where free speech isn't even protected...

TheRenaissanceman65 "The trouble with a written constitution is it's so hard to amend it." Actually, no. From the American perspective, this is its strength. In any democracy, there's always the danger of a majority voting to remove the rights of a minority. The Constitution makes sure that those laws and rights which we believe are most fundamental and critical cannot be removed without a seismic shift in public opinion.
