For many years, the Supreme Court believed that "commercial speech" was entitled to less protection than other forms of speech. One defining element of commercial speech is that its dominant theme is to propose a commercial transaction. This kind of speech is protected by the First Amendment, but the government is permitted to regulate it more closely than other forms of speech. However, the government must make reasonable distinctions, must narrowly tailor the rules restricting commercial speech, and must show that government has a legitimate goal that the law furthers.

Salib sued, claiming that the sign code violated his First Amendment rights. Explain what the should be the supporting arguments for the city? What should be the supporting arguments for Salib? What should the court decide? Why?* * The above text is taken from your textbook, Section 4.7. O 2018 Flatworld. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or dup
