Which pair of cases impacted First Amendment rights?

  1. Plessy & Dred

  2. Texas & Hazelwood

  3. Marbury

  4. Brown v Board

The correct answer is: Texas & Hazelwood

This answer is incorrect because Texas v. Johnson dealt with flag burning or symbolic speech, which is protected by the First Amendment. Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier dealt with the rights of school officials to censor student publications in a school-sponsored newspaper, which is not protected by the First Amendment. A, C, and D are also incorrect because these cases did not directly impact First Amendment rights. Plessy v. Ferguson dealt with the constitutionality of segregation in public facilities, Marbury v. Madison established the power of judicial review, and Brown v. Board of Education dealt with desegregation of public schools. These cases may have had indirect implications on First Amendment rights, but were not directly related to them.
