Explanation:

Symbolic speech is non - verbal expression, not verbal. Freedom of speech can be restricted when public safety is at risk. Sedition is not protected by the First Amendment as it involves inciting overthrow of the government. The Supreme Court interprets constitutional rights including free speech. The First Amendment is important as it allows citizens to freely participate in democracy.
