The restrictions referred to in Article 20 may only be imposed to satisfy purposes acceptable in a democratic society. The restriction may never go beyond what is necessary with regard to the purposes for which it was imposed, nor may it extend so far that it represents a threat to the free shaping of opinion as one of the foundations of democracy. No restriction may be imposed solely on grounds of political, religious, cultural or other such beliefs. (Instrument of Government, Chapter 2, Art. 21)

Begränsningar enligt 20 § får göras endast för att tillgodose ändamål som är godtagbara i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Begränsningen får aldrig gå utöver vad som är nödvändigt med hänsyn till det ändamål som har föranlett den och inte heller sträcka sig så långt att den utgör ett hot mot den fria åsiktsbildningen såsom en av folkstyrelsens grundvalar. Begränsningen får inte göras enbart på grund av politisk, religiös, kulturell eller annan sådan åskådning. (Kungörelse (1974:152) om beslutad ny regeringsform, 2 kap, 21§)
