The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference. The right to free speech is not absolute. For example, the government may regulate obscenity. Nor is speech likely to incite violence, lawless action, or danger to the nation's security protected. Commercial speech is protected under an intermediate level of scrutiny and the government can ban deceptive or illegal commercial speech.
