Do advertisements receive more or less constitutional protec

Do advertisements receive more or less constitutional protection than movies and newspaper articles? Why is there a distinction, even though all three forms of expression derive a profit?

Solution

Advertisements receive more or less constitutional protection than movies and newspaper articles because the accuracy of commercial speech might be more easily verifiable , than for example movies , newspaper articles or political commentary. The states could not \" completely suppress the dissemination of concededly truthful [ commercial ] information about likely entirely lawful activity , fearful of that information\'s effect upon its disseminators or its recipients. Therefore advertisements recieve constitutional protection even though it is an expression to derive a profit.
