Question

question 7 in near v minnesota (1931), the court decided that a prior restraint is unconstitutional. b the first amendment protects libel. c state laws may limit freedom of assembly. d free speech may be suppressed during wartime.

Explanation:

In Near v. Minnesota (1931), the U.S. Supreme - Court held that prior restraint (preventing speech or publication in advance) is generally unconstitutional. The First Amendment protects freedom of the press and speech, and libel is an exception where false and defamatory statements can be punished after the fact. State laws can have some limitations on freedom of assembly, but this is not the main holding of Near v. Minnesota. Also, while there are some circumstances where free speech can be restricted during wartime (such as clear - and - present - danger cases), this is not related to the Near v. Minnesota decision.

Answer:

A. prior restraint is unconstitutional
