You know that every clause in the Constitution can be debated, due to differences in writing styles between then and now. Read it and you will agree. That's why it is helpful to have the Federalist papers and other contemporaneous works by the Founders to explain each clause's derivation.

All that clause does is provides a reason the other clause. Nothing in the first clause modifies the 2nd. If they had written "Political debate being vital to Democracy, the right of free speech shall not be infringed", it similar would not limit free speech to political debate.
