Recommended: Freedom of speech argument essay

The city of San Antonio wanted to pass a law that would limit the movies being shown at local drive-in theatres. The city of San Antonio argued that drive-in theatres were public places that would expose passing drivers and their passengers to nudity. They tried to argue the exposure may cause an accident by the distraction from the movie nudity. The city council agreed to pass an ordinance that prohibited drive-in theatres from showing movies with nudity.

The city council claimed the government had to protect the public from nuisance.

Drive-in movies usually don't play movies until dusk. Also, any drive-in I have attended generally play the children movies first then the adult movie second because the children usu...

...PG or PG-13 film before 10pm. I don't agree with the city ordinance, I do think the city of San Antonio did take it a little too far. I agree the placing of the city ordinance is violating our freedom of speech given by the first amendment.

So the (smallest number)² + (middle number)² = (largest number)² The number 3, 4 and 5 satisfy this condition 3² + 4² = 5² because 3² = 3 x 3 = 9 4² = 4 x 4 = 16 5² = 5 x 5 = 25 and so 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5² The numbers 5,12, 13 and 7,24,25 also work for this theorem 5² + 12² = 13² because 5² = 5 x 5 = 25 12² = 12 x 12 = 144 13²= 13 x 13 = 169 and so 5² +
