Plaintiff Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation filed an action against Public Service Commission of New York to challenge the constitutionality of a regulation that completely banned promotional advertising by the utility but permitted "informational" ads-those designed to encourage shifting consumption from peak to nonpeak times. The regulation was upheld by the trial court. On appeal by the utility, the New York Court of Appeals sustained the regulation, concluding that governmental interests outweighed the limited constitutional value of the commercial speech at issue. The utility appealed.

1. What primary ethical norm is implicit in the legal requirement that regulations on commercial speech be of the most limited nature possible in carrying out the desired end of advancing the state's substantial interest?
Clue: Review the four primary ethical norms. You want to focus not on the government regulation but on the rationale for limits on that regulation.
2. What information missing from the Court's opinion must you, as a critical thinker, know before being entirely satisfied with the decision?
Clue: You want to focus on the issue about which the Public Service Commission and Central Hudson have conflicting viewpoints. What information would you want to know before accepting the soundness of the Court's judgment in resolving this conflict?
