I think the majority would align themselves with the government, if rights were restricted, because in my opinion the people ready to risk their careers (and maybe their lives) to regain liberty and independence would be a precious rarity.Just out of curiosity, why is it always assumed that any discussion on free speech means that, were rights restricted, the newspapers would have a primarily pro-government view? If we give complete free speech, wouldn't the majority be anti-government and probably baseless?
Omnia enim plerumque quae absunt vehementius hominum mentes perturbant.
For generally all evils which are distant most powerfully alarm men's minds.
