This legislation made the destruction of draft cards a criminal offense, reflecting the government's effort to maintain order during a time of significant protest against the draft. The law was challenged in court, leading to a landmark Supreme Court case, United States v. O'Brien (1968), which upheld the constitutionality of the law while also affirming the protection of symbolic speech under the First Amendment.
