Question 41 • American Government/Civics

One of the results of the Schenck decision was that it removed protections for

Answer
A
hate speech.
B
those serving in the military.
C
those who committed crimes.
D
speech intended to cause panic or harm.

Explanation

In Schenck v. United States (1919), the Supreme Court ruled that speech could be restricted when it created a “clear and present danger,” such as encouraging people to obstruct the military draft during wartime. The decision therefore limited protections for speech intended to cause panic or harm, rather than removing protections for an entire group of people.
