City of Renton v Playtime sounds familiar, but I can't remember if it was a violation or just a restriction on adult theaters.

I feel like Mugler v Kansas had something to do with free speech, but it was more about alcohol regulation, right?

Hold on, isn't C) Mugler v Kansas about prohibition laws? I don't think that's related to free speech at all. What a weird choice!
