What does this quote by Benjamin Franklin mean?
"Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom, and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech, which is the right of every man as far as by it he does not hurt or control the right of another; and this is the only check it outght to suffer, and the only bounds it ought to know."
I think I have a general idea, but just thought I'd double check.
Also, what are some controversial, memorable topics that this quote applies to? The more the topic stands out, the better. Specifics cases and stuff would be helpful, if possible.
Thanks!
OKay i think it measn : without the right to think how you want..you cant really be wise...for u cannot speak your MIND if you dont have the right to speak, which everyone has the right to do. and you should be able to speak and think how you want as long as it doesnt affect some one elses right to do the same. and im not too sure about the last part
