Question

an essay on Limitations of the students ​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are limitations. The Court does not protect speech that falls into the following categories: clear and present danger, fighting words, libel and slander, obscenity or time, place and manner.

If you yell fire and there is none, that falls under “clear and present danger” and you will be prosecuted. If you said something to intentionally provoke a fight, you are not protected by the first amendment. You don’t have the right to say something that could possibly damage someone’s reputation either; this is included under “libel and slander.” Also, one must distinguish “obscene” material, speech not protected by the First Amendment, from “indecent” material, speech protected for adults but not for children.

What many students don’t realize is that legally, they don’t necessarily have the right to say something at a certain time and place or if you say something that messes with a legitimate government interest
