This article is a literature review that aims to increase the discussion of different theories related to freedom of speech, and its relation to democracy focusing on comprehending how several conceptualizations of these two are related. Our cornerstone is to discuss the diversity of concepts and theoretical aspects and evaluate this phenomenon considering how it is based. Evaluations of the phenomenon of freedom of expression and democracy will be made not directly, but through consideration of how competing theories define their concepts and support their respective conceptions.References
