Each student will prepare and submit a 5 page minimum paper that answers the following question:In On Liberty, John Stuart Mill argues that “[i]f all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” What is Mill’s justification for this argument? In Mill’s opinion, what limitations, if any, should there be on this right to free speech? What assumptions does Mill’s argument depend upon? Do you agree with Mill’s point of view?The main goal of this assignment is to test your ability to independently read through, summarize, and interpret a work of serious political theory. The only resource needed to complete this assignment is On Liberty. In this light, secondary sources (such as SparkNotes or Wikipedia) should not be used
