USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Shortly thereafter in Virginia State Board of Pharmacy v. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council, Inc. (1976), the Supreme Court extended First Amendment free speech protection to commercial speech.

Detailed explanation-2: -The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Detailed explanation-3: -The First Amendment does not protect speech that leads to imminent lawless action. This kind of speech has to be directed towards a specific person or group. It has to be a direct call to commit immediate, lawless action. There must be an expectation that the speech will in fact lead to lawless action.

Detailed explanation-4: -As established in Central Hudson v. Public Svn. Comm’n, commercial speech is less protected under the First Amendment than other forms of speech. Central Hudson established a four-part test for whether governmental regulation of commercial speech is constitutional.
