Title V. Smith

The Title V. Smith case involved a dispute over the protection of political speech under the First Amendment. The government sought to regulate certain political activities, but the Supreme Court ruled that such regulations must be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling interest. The Court emphasized that restrictions on expressive activities should not infringe upon fundamental free speech rights unnecessarily. Essentially, the case clarified that the government cannot impose broad or unjustified limits on political expression, reaffirming the importance of First Amendment protections against overly restrictive regulations of speech.
