Overbreadth or Overly Broad Laws

The video discusses the First Amendment's protection of freedom of speech and expression, explaining that the government needs a compelling justification to limit these rights. It explores scenarios where laws are passed to protect societal interests but may be overbroad, affecting conduct that should not be restricted. An example is given of a law prohibiting all nudity, which could unintentionally ban artistic performances. Such overbroad laws are unconstitutional as they restrict too much freedom.
