FREEDOM OF SPEECH VS. FREEDOM OF RELIGION: ETHICAL AND JURIDICAL DILEMMAS OF APPLICATION OF NORMS BY THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
The paper discusses the contradictions that arise during the process of implementation of the principles of freedom of speech and freedom of religion in the United States of America. The legal and moral-ethical aspects of the problem are singled out; approaches to its solution are analyzed. The solution of the problem in the legal aspect is regulated by any procedures. In the context of ethics the codes of journalistic ethics and the principles of tolerance are considered. The author notes that the effectiveness of the regulation of ethical contradictions mostly depends on the development of public institutions and the nature of the society values.
