Evolution is a process that explains how organisms have diversified and descended from earlier forms of organisms over time. Essentially that means all species living on earth have derived from a common ancestor. Speciation is an evolutionary process that leads to the formation of a new species. Natural Selection and Speciation For a new species to form, individuals of a population need to be reproductively isolated from one another.
The first 10 amendments comprise the Bill of Rights. The first amendment protects religious freedom by prohibiting the establishment of an official or exclusive church or sect. Free speech and free press are protected, although they can be limited for reasons of defamation, obscenity, and certain forms of state censorship, especially during wartime.
Commercial speech, however, is less protected by the First Amendment than political speech, and is therefore subject to greater regulation. The Free Press Clause protects publication of information and opinions, and applies to a wide variety of media. In Near v. Minnesota (1931) and New York Times v. United States (1971), the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment protected against prior restraintâpre-publication censorshipâin almost all cases.
