6) : The questions 
in this section are based on the passage. 
The
questions 
are to be answered on the basis of what is stated or implied in the pass;ge. 
For
some of the questions, 
more than one ol the choices could conceivabiy answer the question.
However, you are to choose the best answer; that is, the responsd that most ac;urately
and completely answers the questions.
The Constitution ofthe United States 
protects 
both property 
rights and freedom ol speech.
At times these rights conflict. Resolution then requires a determination as to the 
ipe 
of
property 
involved. lf the property 
is private 
and not open to the general public, 
the owner
may absolutely deny the exercise of the right of free speech theraon. On the other hand, if
public 
land is at issue, the First Amendment protections 
of expression are applicable.
However, lhe exercise ol lree speech thereon is not absolute. Bather it |s necessarv lo
determine the appropriateness of the Iorum. This requires that consideration be oiven io a
number ol factors including: character and normaluse ofthe property, 
lhe extent t-o which it
is open to the public, 
and the number and types of persons 
who frequent it. lf the forum is
clearly public 
or clearly private, the resolution of the greater 
of rights is relatively straight
forward,
ln the area of quasi-public property, 
balancing these rights has produced 
a dilemma. This
is the situation when a private 
owner permits 
the general public 
to use his property. 
When
persons 
seekto use the land for passing 
out handbills orpicketing, how is a conflict between
property 
rights and freedom of expression resolved ?
The precept 
thata private property 
owner surrenders his rights in proportion 
to the extent to
which he opens up his property to the 
public 
is not new. In 1675, Lord Chief Justice Hale
wrote that when private property is "atfected with a 
public 
interest, it ceases to be orivate.'
Throughout the development of Anglo-American taw, the individual has never 
ooasessed
absolute dominion over property. Land becomes clothed with a Dublic interest when the
owner devotes his property 
to a use in which the public has an interesl- In support of this
position 
the chairman ol the board of the Wilde Lake Shopping Centre in Columbia,
Maryland said :
The only real purpose 
and 
justification 
of any ot these centres is to serve the DeoDle in the
area-notthe merchants, notthe developers, notthe architects. The success ortailure of a
regionalshopping centre will be measured by what it does forthe people 
it seeks to serve.
These doctrines should be applied when accommodation must be made between a
shopping centre owner's private property rights and the public's 
right to free expression. lt
is hoped that when the Court is asked to balance these conflicting rights itwillkeep in mind
what Justice Black said in 1945: "When we balance the constitutional rights of owners of
property 
against lhose ol the people 
to enjoy (First 
Amendment) freedom(s) ..... we remain
mindful of the fact that the latter occupy a preterred position."
1. In which one of the lollowing cases would the owner of the property probably 
be
most free to restrict the lreedom of sDeech ?
(a) an amusement park 
attended by live million people 
each year 
owned by a
multinational company.
(b) a small grocery 
shopping mall owned by a husband and wife
(c) an enclosed shopping mall owned by a single woman
(d) an eighl-unit residentialapartment building owned bya targe realesiate company

out handbills orpicketing, how is a conflict between
property 
rights and freedom of expression resolved ?
The precept 
thata private property 
owner surrenders his rights in proportion 
to the extent to
which he opens up his property to the 
public 
is not new. In 1675, Lord Chief Justice Hale
wrote that when private property is "atfected with a 
public 
interest, it ceases to be orivate.'
Throughout the development of Anglo-American taw, the individual has never 
ooasessed
absolute dominion over property. Land becomes clothed with a Dublic interest when the
owner devotes his property 
to a use in which the public has an interesl- In support of this
position 
the chairman ol the board of the Wilde Lake Shopping Centre in Columbia,
Maryland said :
The only real purpose 
and 
justification 
of any ot these centres is to serve the DeoDle in the
area-notthe merchants, notthe developers, notthe architects. The success ortailure of a
regionalshopping centre will be measured by what it does forthe people 
it seeks to serve.
These doctrines should be applied when accommodation must be made between a
shopping centre owner's private property rights and the public's 
right to free expression. lt
is hoped that when the Court is asked to balance these conflicting rights itwillkeep in mind
what Justice Black said in 1945: "When we balance the constitutional rights of owners of
property 
against lhose ol the people 
to enjoy (First 
Amendment) freedom(s) ..... we remain
mindful of the fact that the latter occupy a preterred position."
