Free Speech

Paragraph: 59 - As the standards of certainty in statutes containing criminal sanctions are higher than those in statutes containing civil sanctions, so are the standards of certainty touching on freedom of expression higher than those in other areas. Winters v. New York, 333 U.S. 507, 515—516, 68 S.Ct. 665, 670, 92 L.Ed. 840.N79* 'There must be ascertainable standards of guilt. Men of common intelligence cannot be required to guess at the meaning of the enactment. The vagueness may be from uncertainty in regard to persons within the scope of the act or in regard to the applicable tests to ascertain guilt.' Where freedom of expression is at stake these requirements must be more sedulously enforced.
