Whitney v. California

( 1927 ) Commentary by David W. Levy, University of Oklahoma

“Those who won our independence believed that the final end of the State was to make men free to develop their faculties.… They valued liberty both as an end and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty. They believed that freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are means indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth.” - Whitney v. California
