Abstract: | This article argues that advertising regulation and the First Amendment are not nearly so incompatible as has been popularly suggested. The reason lies in their common historical roots. Advertising regulation has its origins in the law of caveat emptor, a law of freedom of speech established from the same philosophical background as was the First Amendment. This relationship is described, and implications for present and future regulation are discussed. |
