According to the Supreme Court, can the government regulate speech leading to an "imminent lawless action"?

A. True
B. False

Answer :

Answer:

True!

Explanation:

According to the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), the government can regulate speech that leads to an "imminent lawless action." This means that speech that incites or produces immediate violence or illegal activity can be restricted or prohibited by the government without violating the First Amendment's protection of free speech. However, this standard sets a high bar for government regulation of speech, and it does not apply to speech that may be offensive or controversial but does not pose an imminent threat of lawless action.
