Congress

Explanation:

War powers are divided between the executive and legislative branches due to the check and balances system. The President (aka commander in chief) can only state that they would want war, but it will not be followed through unless approved by congress. Congress has only approved going to war 11 times.

freedom of speech is also protected by the 1 amendment.

explanation:

here is pretty much what the 1st amendment says:

congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
