Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

The early U.S. Founders were adamantly opposed to prior restraints, and this opposition was at the forefront of their minds when drafting the First Amendment. A prior restraint is formal censorship by the government before publication. Prior restraints violate the First Amendment unless the speech is obscene, is defamatory, or creates a clear and present danger to society.
