Abstract
In this paper, I shall outline a conception of constitutionally protected rights in a democratic legal system and of legal reasoning about such rights. Though space does not permit full supporting argumentation, I shall indicate how this view can be constructed from aspects of the treatment of freedom of speech by the courts of the U.S. in applying the First Amendment of the Constitution of the U.S.
