Question 34 • S1S-OC: US History A (E1202 - AG)
The Court upheld Charles Schenck’s conviction for distributing leaflets that urged resistance to the World War I draft. It said speech could be restricted when, in its context, it created a “clear and present danger.” Thus, speech that could create danger could be banned; the Court did not declare the Espionage Act unconstitutional or say that the First Amendment had no limits.
