	Freedom of Expression and Constructive Political Criticism
		Freedom of expression is essential for the establishment and sustenance of a good democratic state.
		However, it is also true that the freedom of expression is often abused, especially throughout the process of political scrutiny, producing destructive material that may violate the rights of others and damage the harmony of the society.
		Therefore, even though freedom of expression is essential for democratic governance, it is limited on reasonable grounds such as the protection of the rights and reputation of others, prevention of libel and slander, maintenance of public order, and the protection of national security.

		Additional examples include federal and state Freedom of Information and "sunshine" laws (such as the 1966 federal Freedom of Information Act) which opens up executive-branch records to public and press scrutiny.
