Music is an important form of expression, and the First Amendment protects every American’s right to express themselves through melody.
Therefore, in celebration of the 4th of July, we’ve compiled a list of songs we think convey important themes relating to the First Amendment. This list is in no way comprehensive (the possibilities are endless!) but it does contain an eclectic mix of musical styles meant to demonstrate how ubiquitous First Amendment themes are across an array of genres.
Enjoy!
