Discuss how the Supreme Court interpreted the freedom of speech provision of the Bill of Rights in Schenck v. United States.
What will be an ideal response?
Schenck was charged with violating the Espionage Act because he mailed circulars to men eligible for the draft, urging them to resist. Holmes and a unanimous Court ruled the circumstance of speech should always be considered, and "clear and present dangers" could provide the basis for conviction. Schenck's conviction was upheld.
