Force-fed poems he composed with a right to say whatever he liked (7,2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

freedom of speech

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a right to say whatever he liked' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'force-fed poems he composed' is the wordplay.
'composed' is an anagram indicator.
'force'+'fed'+'poems'+'he'='forcefedpoemshe'
'forcefedpoemshe' is an anagram of 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for freedom of speech that I've seen is " civil right".)
