Select one:

Libel once was viewed as an unprotected abridgment of speech. By the first and fourteenth amendmant, are barred in federal, and state court.

Answer 2

The answer is A, Libel.

This is because doing Libel is making false statements to damage someone’s character, which is not protected under free speech.

However, political protest, newspaper editorials and criticisms of political figures are permitted under the constitution.
