Correct and re-write: This case study talks about the activities of the Westboro Baptist Church which is known for displaying messages that affect infliction of emotional distress, and civil conspiracy. Albert Snyder, Matthew's father, sued the church for intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, and civil conspiracy. Freedom of speech is enshrined in the Constitution to ensure that individuals can express their thoughts, opinions, and beliefs without fear of government restriction or punishment. Some of the tradeoffs of laws that prohibit types of speech are as follows; not all speech is protected, threats, context matters, and, incitement. In making a judicial decision, I would base my ruling on the precedent set by the Supreme Court in Snyder v. Phelps (2011). I would likely support the protection of the protesters' speech, while also carefully considering specific restrictions to minimize harm and maintain public order during sensitive events
