The correct answer is A) Over time, the Supreme Court became less likely to allow restrictions on free speech.
The statement that best summarizes the evolution of the Supreme Court's interpretation of free speech during the 20th century is"Over time, the Supreme Court became less likely to allow restrictions on free speech."
The 1st. Amendment to the Constitution of the United States protects freedom of speech and is part of the Bill of Rights. However, since the 1920s, the US Supreme Court had suppressed freedom of speech in particular cases such as in times of war. In different cases such as Texas v. Johnson, the Court has suppressed freedom of speech. So freedom of speech is not protected when the discourse is violent against the country, the materials presented are obscene, oral and written defamatory statements and plagiarism.
