Question 14 • * HSA 26-27 US Government

Which is an example of restricted free speech?

Answer
A
promoting an idea that is unpopular with most people
B
telling everyone you lost your job when you are still employed
C
revealing a confidential e-mail that was sent to you by mistake
D
writing an article that urges people to violently protest unfair treatment

Explanation

Speech that directly encourages violence can be restricted, especially when it urges people to take part in violent action. Promoting an unpopular idea is generally protected, and merely making a false personal statement or revealing an accidentally received email does not best illustrate this kind of restriction. The correct choice is writing an article that urges people to violently protest unfair treatment.
