When Socialist Charles Schenck was charged with violating the law during World War I, which of the following was the unanimous decision of the U.S. Supreme Court?
Rationale
Schenck v. United States is like setting a free speech boundary, ruling that speech posing a 'clear and present danger,' like anti-draft pamphlets, can be restricted. 'Imminent lawless action' came later, and absolute free speech wasn't upheld.
