jun 8, 1925 - Gitlow v New York
Description:
The Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment protection of free speech of no impediment of free speech applied also to state governments. The Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause required that both state and federal gov. need the same standards regarding speech. This is when the Bill of Rights began to apply to state laws little by little. Just like Sacco and Vanzetti, Gitlow was charged with being an anarchist.
