|\clear and present danger test - Correct Answer -law should not punish speech unless
there was a clear and present danger of producing harmful actions
-"the question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances
and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring
about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent. It is a question of
proximity and degree."
imminent lawless action test (Brandenburg) - Correct Answer -rule used by the courts
that restricts speech only if it is aimed at producing or is likely to produce imminent

New York Times v. Sullivan (Actual malice test) - Correct Answer -"prohibits a public

O'Brien Test - Correct Answer "when a regulation prohibits conduct that combines

4. prohibit no more speech than is essential to further that interest
