Schenck v. United States (1919) was a major United States Supreme Court case and remains controversial in terms of its implications to the 1st Amendment of rights to freedom of speech and expression. In this case Schenk was handing out anti-draft literature to new enlistees. The Court surprisingly ruled that making Schenks actions were not constitutionally protected due to the ideas intention and the likelihood of presenting a definitive danger.
