Explanation of Solution

Answer and explanation

(This question calls for a subjective answer. This is an example of an appropriate response.)

In order to determine whether Republicans or Democrats offer more support for free speech, units of analysis, sampling methods, and relevant measurements must be taken into account. The books cited by politicians from each side and the words they use when communicating are units of analysis for this question. If one side cites more books that indicate that free speech is valuable, such as Fahrenheit 451, this may be one data point to use in answering the question. Sampling methods to get units for analysis would include examining transcripts from congressional hearings, in which members from each party will have asked questions and made statements to analyze. Another method would be analyzing speeches given by members of each party, and transcripts of appearances on press related television shows. Relevant measurements include the content of the aforementioned communications, as well as the types of bills sponsored, and voting records on bills related to free speech issues.
