3 marzo 1919 anni - Schenck v. United States

Descrizione:

Schenck v. United States, decided in 1919, was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that established the "clear and present danger" test as a standard for restricting free speech. The case involved Charles Schenck, who was convicted under the Espionage Act for distributing anti-draft leaflets during World War I; the Court upheld his conviction, ruling that speech posing a clear and present danger to a government function, like recruitment during wartime, could be legally curtailed.
