Freedom of thought is the precursor and progenitor of—and thus is closely linked to—other liberties, including freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of expression.[1] Though freedom of thought is axiomatic for many other freedoms, they are in no way required for it to operate and exist.

It is a very important concept in the Western world and nearly all[citation needed] democratic constitutions protect these freedoms.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo reasoned in Palko v. Connecticut
