King Hall Podcast Covers First Amendment with Professor Bhagwat

UC Davis Law Professor Ashutosh Bhagwat discusses his book, Our Democratic First Amendment, published by Cambridge University Press.

Despite the Supreme Court's focus on free speech, Bhagwat reminds us that the First Amendment covers much more. Beyond freedom of speech and religion, Bhagwat talks about the "democratic" First Amendment that is too often forgotten and protects our freedom of press, assembly and petition. Bhagwat explores how the amendment has shaped our democracy today by examining the challenges we face with social media, misinformation, partisanship and apathy among citizens.
