Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Some states do require franchisors to submit their advertising materials aimed at prospective franchisees for review and approval to ensure compliance with local franchise sales laws and regulations, which is designed to protect potential franchisees from misleading or fraudulent claims. This does not inherently conflict with the First Amendment, as it is a regulation of commercial speech, which can be subject to greater regulation than other types of speech.
