First Amendment: Content-Based Regulations and Least Restrictive Means

Traditional forms of speech involve spoken or written words, while symbolic speech uses actions, gestures, symbols, or other forms of expression to convey a message or express an idea.

The regulation must be within the constitutional power of the government to regulate conduct.

Content-based regulations target specific viewpoints or messages, while content-neutral regulations are justified by a governmental interest unrelated to the suppression of free expression.
