Schenck v. US 1919Facts of the Case • During World War I, Schenck mailed circulars to draftees. The circulars
suggested that the draft was a monstrous wrong motivated by the capitalist system. The circulars urged "Do not submit to intimidation" but advised only peaceful action such as petitioning to repeal the Conscription Act. Schenck was charged with conspiracy to violate the Espionage Act by attempting to cause insubordination in the military and to obstruct recruitment.
Question • Are Schenck's actions (words, expression) protected by the free speech
clause of the First Amendment?

Gitlow v. New York 1925Facts of the Case • Gitlow, a socialist, was arrested for distributing copies of a "left-wing
manifesto" that called for the establishment of socialism through strikes and class action of any form. Gitlow was convicted under a state law, which punished advocating the overthrow of the government by force. At his trial, Gitlow argued that since there was no resulting action flowing from the manifesto's publication. The New York courts had decided that anyone who advocated the doctrine of violent revolution violated the law.
Question • Is the New York law punishing advocacy to overthrow the government by
force an unconstitutional violation of the free speech clause of the First Amendment?

Brandenburg v. Ohio 1969Facts of the Case
