  • Step 1 of 3


    In the case The City v. Houston, a judge would consider the constitutionality of the city ordinance in relation to its impact on First Amendment rights.

  • Step 2 of 3

    First Amendment:

    The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides for the following:

    1. Prohibits the government to create religion.

    2. Prohibits interference in the free exercise of religion.

    3. Prohibits limitations on the freedom of speech.

    4. Prohibits infringement on the freedom of the press.

    5. Provides for protection of the right to free assembly.

    6. Provides for protection of the right to petition for a governmental redress of grievances.

  • Step 3 of 3


    An ordinance is void if it conflicts with the U.S. Constitution, a state constitution, or a federal or state law. In this case the city ordinance in question violates the U.S. Constitution under the First Amendment. Additionally, the arguments against the ordinance are supported by case law.

    Therefore, Houston’s attorney has the stronger argument.
