Question 55 • EA Academy Algebra I

Read the scenario.A person writes a social media post urging fellow protesters to loot stores and destroy property as they march through a town.

Answer
A
It is protected by the First Amendment because all speech by individuals is protected.
B
It is protected by the First Amendment because all social media posts are protected.
C
It is not protected by the First Amendment because social media posts are not covered.
D
It is not protected by the First Amendment because it provokes people to commit crimes.

Explanation

The First Amendment protects a wide range of speech, including speech on social media, but it does not protect every call to action. Speech that urges people to commit crimes in an immediate, dangerous situation may be treated as incitement rather than protected expression. Here, the post urges protesters to loot stores and destroy property during their march, so choice D is the best answer.
