Does censoring Americans freedom of speech allow the government to hide certain plans from the public? Maybe but it is certainly stopping America from progressing. The government continues to censor people’s voices. This censorship allows the government to limit the type and amount of information the public can obtain. This is what happened in both the Civil and Cold wars, when the government stopped the Presses right to publish what they wanted to publish. This allows the government to do what it likes without opposition, like when Colin Powell did not tell the truth to United Nations. If there were to be no freedom of speech, then there would be no checks and balances. If the reason the government says that they are suspending freedom of speech is to keep us safe, then look no further then what Benjamin Franklin said "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security"
