nap-501000 – 1st Amendment – Freedom of Speech wiki

The First Amendment guarantees Americans the freedom of speech, or does it? In reality it guarantees politicians the right to lie, intimidate, and threaten anyone who opposes their views.

Freedom of speech is the greatest of our rights, guaranteed to us in the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. It is also the Achilles heel of democracy.

nap-105100- Insurrection
nap-5110 – what is an insurrection?

What is the difference between a protest, a riot, and an insurrection?
A PROTEST is a peaceful gathering or march to show support for a cause.
A RIOT is a violent protest causing damage to property or personal injuries to others.
INSURRECTION (chatGpt)
An insurrection refers to a violent uprising or rebellion against an established authority or government. It involves a group of people taking up arms or using force to overthrow or challenge the ruling regime or to protest against a particular policy or decision of the government. Insurrections often result in chaos, destruction, and loss of life, and they are considered illegal and highly disruptive to the stability of a society. Examples of insurrections include the American Civil War, the French Revolution, and recent events such as the storming of the United States Capitol in January 2021.

The consequences of an insurrection have lasting national and international importance. If the insurrection fails (the Civil War, Jan 6th) then then there are serious repercussions to the insurrectionists.
If the insurrection is successful (French Revolution, Ukraine 2014) then the existing government is overthrown and a new government installed.

Insurrections result when a group of people feel that they have no voice in the government or that the only way their beliefs will be instituted is in the overthrow of the government.
Insurrections can only be prevented when the citizens of a nation can reach compromise that both sides will accept. As long as the citizens of a nation cannot reach acceptable compromises then insurrections will continue and then nation will live in dysfunction with fear, hate ,and distrust as a way of life.

What is the difference between an insurrection and civil disobedience?

Insurrection and civil disobedience are two distinct forms of political expression, with significant differences.
Insurrection refers to a violent uprising or rebellion against an established authority or government. It involves using force to overthrow the ruling power or to gain control of a territory or institution. Insurrections often involve armed conflict and are often considered illegal.
On the other hand, civil disobedience is a non-violent act of protest against laws or policies that an individual or group considers unjust or immoral. Civil disobedience involves intentionally breaking a law or rule, but doing so peacefully and accepting the legal consequences. It is a way to draw attention to an issue, challenge the status quo, and bring about social or political change through nonviolent means.
While both insurrection and civil disobedience involve challenging established authority, they differ in their approach and the degree of violence used. Insurrections seek to overthrow the government through force, while civil disobedience seeks to bring about change through peaceful and nonviolent resistance.

The Will of the Nation
A nation is more than just it’s founding document and principles. A nation is the sum of the living population that makes up the nation. The Will of the Nation is the prevailing beliefs and ideals of those who govern the nation and those who allow them to rule. Those who do not let their will be known, or do not express their will, effectively abdicate their rights in the rule of the nation.
Those in power will always try to bend and shape the laws to coincide with their beliefs. As long as the balance of power in government does not become out of balance between competing beliefs the nation will
