Although American artists are largely protected from direct censorship by the U. S. Constitution's first amendment, government funding is subject to approval by local and national legislators who sometimes balk at funding the work of certain artists.
True or False?

True.

Explanation:

Right from the beginning, during the framing of the Constitution of the United States of America, the work of arts has been recognized and it has been used and it is still being used in the promotion of family values.

Arts can be used to express one's inner thought and idea. In the United States and many parts of the world, arts are being censored but, in the United States of America, censoring of Arts is limited because of the First Amendment.

Some local and national legislators may not want to fund certain artists maybe because to them it is not morally right and it destroys family values or maybe the artists have violated many laws such as doing works that are defaming.

Hence, the statement given in the question is true.

they had freedom from the government and from the affairs

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
