There's a difference, to me, between freedom of speech and free
speech. It's slight, and the two terms have been used interchageably
by many people.
I understand free speech to mean the ability to say or the action of
saying anything one wants, and freedom of speech as the right to and
responsibility for saying anything one wants without violating anyone
else's rights.

Accepted. There were few national security secrets two hundred years
ago that could do the kind of harm they can now.

Flag-burning laws would be against US Code. Traitor-burning laws
haven't been passed yet.
