Abstract

The Supreme Court of the United States held that a content-neutral ordinance, aimed at combating the negative secondary effects of public nudity, satisfied the O'Brien standard for restrictions on symbolic speech and was, therefore, a constitutionally permissible restriction on freedom of expression.
