Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A state passes a law that prohibits the publication of any material critical of public officials unless such material is first approved by a government review board. A local newspaper challenges the law, arguing it violates its constitutional rights. Which principle is most relevant in determining whether the law is valid?

  • Procedural due process, which ensures that individuals receive fair procedures when rights are restricted

  • The establishment clause, which prevents the government from endorsing or privileging one viewpoint over another

  • The privilege against self-incrimination, which protects individuals from being forced to provide evidence against themselves

  • Prior restraint, which prohibits the government from suppressing speech in advance of publication
