Expert Solution

Ans. d. Government has a substantial interest in protecting consumers from fraud.

Reason : The first amendment in the US constitution protects the freedom of speech in order to express personal views, press views , political views etc. These are categorised as non commercial views .

On the other hand commercial speeches include the views presented by the individuals / companies on grounds of making profits in the market. Keeping in view this trait, the chances of expressing views or facts which are directly linked to their project's success , is very high. Hence to avoid fraud towards consumers , producers are not given as much as the freedom given to non commercial views and speeches.
