This is the so-called "Speech and Debate Clause." It is in Article I, Section 6, Clause 1. Among certain other protections it gives Congressmen, it states that: ". . . and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place."

1 answer



The Constitution's Speech and Debate clause is important because it protects members of Congress from being questioned in a court of law about any particular aspect of a speech that is made. No evidence presented before a court of law may be a speech made before either the Senate or the House of Representatives under this provision. Such evidence must be tossed out as in violation of the Constitution.

It is important to note, however, that the Supreme Court has eliminated from protection by this clause any statement made by the Representative or Senator in a press release or in a speech made outside of the meeting chambers of Congress. The Court has ruled that these actions do not fall under the "deliberative" aspect of Congress, which is why the provision came into play. Rather, they fall under the "informing" aspect, whereby the public is informed of actions of Congress, thus exempting them from the Speech and Debate Clause.

Both in a debate and a persuasive speech you have your side and you are presenting it in the most favorable light. Regardless of the format, you are essentially persuading in both circumstances. Your efforts are solely devoted to trying to have a person, judge, teacher, etc. see the merit in your side, so in that, when in a debate, you are persuading, and your speech is essentially the same as a persuasive speech.

A conclusion for a debate speech is slightly different from a normal essay or speech. When doing your conclusion, you should essentially show the adjudicator what you have delivered, what the other team has delivered, how the debate stands (look at this from the point of view of the adjudicator, although more biased towards your team) and restate your team line.

The establishment clause is a defense of the city, the state actor in this case. Basically, if the city allows the religious expression, it violates Establishment clause by promoting religion. If it prohibits religious speech, it violates freedom of speech as a Content based violation. It also restricts religious belief and so violates Free Exercise Clause. The plaintiffs win based on Free Speech as the regulation is content-based and the strict scrutiny standard test is applied and the city's defense of establishment clause does not meet the heightened scrutiny.
