Answer 2

Answer:

The instance of political expression that would be considered pure speech is C. A candidate speaking at a town hall meeting.

Explanation:

In United States law, pure speech refers to the communication of an idea through either spoken or written words or through limited conduct to convey an idea. This type of speech is safeguarded by the Constitution, although it does not entail an absolute right -pure speech and further communication rights are not protected if they constitute libel, slander or obscenity. It is distinguished from symbolic speech, which involves conveying ideas through behaviour. Some examples of free speech include face-to-face communications, written publications, broadcast speeches or a candidate speaking at a town hall meeting.
