Important cases concerning the 1st Amendment from the Supreme Court, Courts of Appeals and the Minnesota Supreme Court are presented on the site as PDF documents. Key primary source documents from 1st Amendment cases are available on the site also in PDF. These include transcripts of speeches, photographs, advertisements and leaflets. The 'Historical Materials' section includes excerpts from Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, drafts of the Bill of Rights and the Sedition Act of 1798. There are also a selection of opinion polls relating to First Amendment issues such as religious instruction in schools, gay speakers and pornography law.
