Question

Based on the First Amendment, which restriction can the US government make?
• stopping people from saying something to cause violence
• forcing people to follow the same religion
• banning all hate speech
• preventing people from burning American flags

Answer 1

Answer:

C: people can spread hatred as long as it is factually true.

Explanation:

You have a problem here. The first amendment prohibits saying or writing something that cause violence to erupt.

The first amendment also protects us from being the victims of libelous speech. I guess that means that hate speech is permitted as long as it is factually true. In Canada, hate speech has been made so that the Government can stop it. But it does not seem to be the same in the United States. So this one, I suppose should be in the group below.

I don't know how you choose between these two. All you can do is eliminate the two that are true and which the Federal Government cannot enforce.

1. Forcing people to belong to the same religion.

2. Burning flags
