What is the general rule used by the Supreme Court when deciding if civil disobedience is a constitutionally protected right?

The Supreme Court generally evaluates whether civil disobedience is constitutionally protected by considering the balance between free speech rights under the First Amendment and the government's interest in maintaining public order and enforcing laws. The Court typically looks at the nature of the act of civil disobedience, whether it involves nonviolent protest, and if it disrupts public peace or safety. If the act is deemed to be an expression of political speech rather than a violent disruption, it may receive protection; however, unlawful acts that result in significant harm or disruption often do not qualify for constitutional protection.
