1. Promotes growth of individual and the nation – If one is not free to communicate his ideas to others, his own moral and intellectual development shall be stifled and his fellowmen shall be deprived of the benefit which he might impart to them.
2. Makes possible the scrutiny of acts and conduct of public officials – Without freedom of expression, people shall be deprived of the opportunity to scrutinize the acts and conduct of public officials without fear, and public officials shall not be properly guided by public opinions in crafting the policies and plans of the government.
3. Insures a responsive and popular government – It is only through free debate and free exchange of ideas that a government remains responsive to the will of the people.
