The town of Silentium passes an anti-noise ordinance limiting the hours when noise can be made at the public park including speeches. This is not an uncommon rule in certain areas, but in this case it applies only to Silentium's park. And because its scope is so limited, anyone wishing to challenge the ordinance may do so only by arguing it stands in conflict with other state laws.
