Read the following hypothetical situations and choose two. Do you consider the government's actions fair or unfair? Make note of your answers, reasons, and the criteria you used to make each decision.

• The government prevents a newspaper from publishing information about a recent murder for fear of not being able to find impartial jury members in a few weeks.
• The government denies a permit to an environmental group that planned to hold a peaceful protest that would block the path of construction crews about to build an oil pipeline.
• The government prevents a reporter from publishing leaked information about an upcoming military strike in a current war.
• The White House asks reporters not to announce that the president is visiting a country where U.S. troops are fighting until after he lands therefor his safety and theirs.
• The government prohibits the publication of news about a campaign finance scandal that involves a state senator who is up for reelection in two weeks.
• A county's charter requires its lawmakers to hold an open (public) hearing for community input before it passes any law. For one contentious issue, more than 60 people sign up to speak. The meeting starts late and due to time constraints, the moderator allows only two people to testify before a vote is taken.
