Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Central Hudson test, commercial speech is protected by the First Amendment, but it can be restricted if the government can meet a four-part test. The ARCS is a restriction on commercial speech, and therefore must meet this test. Choice A is correct because it aligns with the second step of the Central Hudson test, which requires the restriction to directly advance a substantial government interest but not go further than necessary. Choice B is incorrect because it suggests that the government can go as far as it wants to achieve its interest, which is not consistent with the Central Hudson test. Choice C is incorrect because no law is valid under all circumstances, and Choice D is incorrect because the ARCS law can be valid if it meets the Central Hudson test.
