  4. Is all speech protected under the 1st amendment guarantee of freedom of speech? NO! • Libel- false, malicious use of the written word • Slander- false, malicious use of the spoken word • (Both are hard to prove) • Sedition- Cannot advocate the overthrowing of the government • Obscenity- The dissemination of obscene material is not protected • (But what is obscene?) • Clear and present danger- Any speech that has the clear and present danger to incite harm is not protected

  5. So what is protected under freedom of speech? • Symbolic Speech- actions that convey a message are protected like words • Tinker v Des Moines- Students can wear armbands to school to convey a political message • Texas v Johnson- It is constitutional to burn the American flag • Prior restraint- Speech cannot be stopped before it is spoken • NY Times v The United States- The only time speech can be restrained before it is spoken is when it is a threat to national security

  6. What about the 1st amendment freedom of the press? • Very similar to speech regulations • Libel and slander are still unprotected • Shield laws- Journalists do not have to reveal their anonymous sources

  7. And what about the 1st amendment protections of assembly and petition? • Assembly- gather with others to express views • Petition- bring views to the attention of public officials • There are different regulations for public and private property • Time-place-manner regulation- The government can regulate when, where and how you assemble and petition • Right of association- the right to join with others to promote causes
