The United States Constitution and Washington Constitutions Guarantees Your Right to Freedom of Speech

Sometimes, we may feel as if we have no right to question any actions the government takes. After all, both the federal and state government are huge bureaucracies with significant political power and control. However, governmental agencies are not exempt from liability and may be held accountable, when they violate the rights of their citizens.

When our founding fathers established the U.S. Constitution, they created certain rights that no government officials may take away. Among these rights are the First Amendment right to free speech, the right to privacy, freedom from false arrest and imprisonment, the right to just compensation if your property is taken and due process of law.
