In Gitlow v. New York (1925), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment's protections of free speech and press apply to state governments through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. The case involved Benjamin Gitlow, who was convicted under New York's Criminal Anarchy Law for distributing a leftist pamphlet. The Court upheld his conviction but established the principle that states cannot infringe upon free speech rights, marking a significant expansion of civil liberties in the United States.
On the principal matter: does the Bill of Rights - in this case: the right of freedom of speech - also apply to State legislation - Benjamin Gitlow won. But the Supreme Court on the other hand upheld Gitlow's 8-year prison sentence for publishing a left-wing pamphlet.
The Incorporation Doctrine. The Gitlow case was the first time the Supreme Court was asked to consider whether the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution incorporated the Bill of Rights into the states' constitutions. While the court upheld the lower court decision and refused to overturn Gitlow's conviction, the case lead to future Supreme Court decisions incorporating the Bill of Rights into state constitutions.

The case involving Benjamin Gitlow, known as Gitlow v. New York (1925), was not overturned; it established the precedent that the First Amendment's free speech protections apply to state governments through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. The Supreme Court upheld Gitlow's conviction for distributing socialist materials, ruling that states could restrict speech that poses a "dangerous tendency." While the decision itself was not overturned, it laid the groundwork for future cases that expanded First Amendment protections.
In Gitlow v. New York (1925), the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment's protections of free speech applied to state governments through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. Benjamin Gitlow, who was convicted under a New York law for distributing socialist materials, argued that his free speech rights were violated. The Court upheld his conviction but established the precedent that the Bill of Rights could limit state laws, thereby incorporating federal protections at the state level. This marked a significant step in the process of selective incorporation of the Bill of Rights.
Benjamin Franklin!
Benjamin Gitlow had been convicted for "Criminal anarchy" under a NY State law for publishing a Left Wing manifesto. He appealed to the Supreme Court on the grounds that this law conflicted with the constitutional freedom of speech as laid down in the First Amendment. The case was significant because until that time the Supreme Court always had held that the Bill of Rights only applied to the Federal Government, and that individual States could by State law limit those rights, without Federal courts having the right to interfere. In this case it was decided for the first time that the Bill of Rights could be binding for States as well, and that a Federal court did have the authority to review a State law on that basis.
