I don't think Americans who say FS = 1A think they invented the principle & enshrined it in law and it doesn't exist anywhere else!

This confusion can be resolved by saying 'I'm talking abt FS as the general principle of being able to freely express all kinds of ideas'

I don't assume Americans don't understand that, but you keep asking ppl to read the first amendment

No I told them to read it when they incorrectly try to state what the amendment does and does not cover
