Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Not all speech is protected by the First Amendment. The Supreme Court and the states have decided that there are restrictions to free speech. In 1919, the Supreme Court decided that someone may not yell "fire" in a crowded theater just to be funny. The first amendment protects freedom of the press, which means that newspapers, newscasts, magazines and journals can report on negative information about an event or individual, as long as they are truthful. But they can’t print something false about someone else—libel and slander—though laws about this differ from state to state. States also regulate obscene speech.

Based on the passage, which of the following actions is protected by the First Amendment?

A
A commentator swears during a live television broadcast.

B
A person threatens to harm their neighbor.

C
A newspaper prints a critical but truthful report about a congressperson.

D
A sports fan shouts "bomb!" in a crowded stadium as a joke.

Answer 1

C-A newspaper prints a critical but truthful report about a congressperson

Step-by-step explanation:

It says “ means that newspapers, newscasts, magazines and journals can report on negative information about an event or individual, as long as they are truthful. “ and if the newspaper has a negative report about a congressman, but it is all true, then it is allowed and protected by the 1st amendment.
