Regulation Of Misleading Commercial Speech
The State of Missouri passes a law prohibiting commercial establishments from using misleading advertisements. If this law is challenged in court, it will most likely be:
AStruck down, because advertisements are a form of speech and laws regulating speech violate the First Amendment.
BUpheld, because the government has a compelling interest in regulating advertisements.
CUpheld, provided that the law is limited to false and misleading advertisements.
DUpheld, because commercial speech is not protected by the First Amendment.
