Why are freedom of speech and freedom of the press so important in our democratic system?

it is important in democratic system because if there is freedom of speech and freedom of press we all people get opportunity to express ourselves in anyway or anywhere.

Explanation:

hope it is important to you

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.

d! i hope u get it ! xddd
