When discussing the importance of
freedom
 of
speech
 in a free
society
, one should bear in mind the complexity of the issue. Some people think that minimizing
freedom
 of
speech
 is beneficial in order to maintain a stable
democarcy
the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives
democracy
. I believe that
freedom
 of
speech
 is an important foundation of a free
society
 and should be cherished. In the following essay, I will provide
argument

 and example to support my opinion. One
reason
Accept comma addition
reason, freedom
freedom
 of
speech
 is vital is because it is the foundation of a free
society
, and without it no
society
 can

really
 be free. If our ability to express our thoughts is prevented, we are not
truely
in accordance with truth or fact or reality
truly
 free, and
as a result
 our
society
 is not free.
For example
, a government that prevents a politician to state his opinion about a new law is not a free country, regardless of its definition. Another argument in favour of my opinion is that
freedom
 of
speech
 can

 our
society
. As the years pass, our
society
 progress and develop new thoughts and wishes. By being able to speak freely, these ideas can gain popularity and lead to changes in legislation and approach.
For example
, the African American movement in the 60's started talking about black people's rights, which
eventially
after an unspecified period of time or an especially long delay
eventually
 led to a fundamental change in the government's approach towards black people. In conclusion, I strongly believe that a free
society
 is based on
freedom
 of
speech
, which helps it to

 and evolve. Without it it is not a free
society
