Question

for prior restraint to apply, what must the government prove about the speech in question?
the speech must be libelous.
the speech must present a general threat.
the speech must present a clear and identifiable danger.
the speech must be offensive.

Explanation:

Prior - restraint is a form of government censorship. The government must show that the speech presents a clear and identifiable danger to apply prior - restraint, which is a high legal standard to protect freedom of speech. Libelous speech may be actionable after it occurs, not a basis for prior - restraint. General threat is too vague, and offensiveness alone is not enough to justify prior - restraint.

Answer:

The speech must present a clear and identifiable danger.
