This court case upheld the government's right to limit or restrict your rights during a wartime. These rights include those such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press. This also established the "clear and present danger" test. So if the US is in a wartime, it can be deemed that certain individuals' actions like talking badly about the government is dangerous to the wartime effort. Hope this helps!
