Answer – Incitement test

The constitutional human right to free speech and press does not permit a state to forbid or prohibit activism, or speech that advocates the use of force or violation of the law except where such advocacy or speech is aimed at inciting or generating imminent lawless action and will possibly incite or lead to such action. This is the limitation that applies when Ernest makes a speech on a public street corner that causes a riot.
