How could the clear and present danger test be restricted?

The clear and present danger test established in Schenck v. US, (1919) has been restricted; in fact, it is no longer the standard for creating exceptions to the protection of free speech. The present test, derived from the opinion of Bradenburg v. Ohio, (1969), "imminent lawless action," allows greater latitude for free speech and sets a higher bar for judging "danger."In Bradenburg (also called the Ku Klux Klan case), the Supreme Court overturned a lower court decision preventing the Klan from obtaining a parade permit to march through a town. The per curiam (unsigned) opinion held:"Freedoms of speech and press do not permit a State to forbid advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action."Case Citations:Clear and Present Danger: Schenck v. United States, 249 US 47 (1919)Imminent Lawless Action: Bradenburg v. United States, 395 US 444 (1969)

What Amendment is involved when the US Supreme Court uses the 'clear and present danger' test when making a decision?

The First Amendment (Free Speech Clause)BUT...The "clear and present danger" test established in Schenck v. US, 249 US 47 (1919), determining when the government may make exceptions to the constitutional protection of free speech by prohibiting certain forms of expression, was modified a number of times in the years following the Schenck decision.The current test, created in Bradenburg v. Ohio,395 US 444 (1969), is far less restrictive, requiring the speech to be likely to incite "imminent lawless action," on the part of those exposed to the message. The "imminent lawless action" test prohibits both state and federal government from interfering with the expression of free speech unless the message is intended to, and likely to, almost immediately result in some form of illegal activity such as a riot, violence against others, destruction of property, etc.In other words, the Court no longer uses the "clear and present danger" standard when making decisions.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
