To achieve this purpose, we will use as a theoretical framework the work of the political philosopher John Rawls, specifically we will analyse, in a more depth way, the considerations made by Jeremy Waldron, in the book The Harm in Hate Speech, about the Rawlsian concept of well-ordered societies aiming to justify regulations on freedom of expression. Regulations that have the propose to restrict this kind of discourses and thereby ensure a more substantive democracy.
