Schenck v. United States (1919) was a landmark Supreme Court case that established the "clear and present danger" test for determining when speech could be restricted under the First Amendment. The case involved Charles Schenck, who had distributed leaflets opposing the draft during World War I, leading to his conviction under the Espionage Act. The Court ruled that during wartime, certain expressions that pose a significant threat to national security could be limited, thus balancing free speech rights with public safety. This decision significantly shaped the legal landscape regarding the limits of free expression in the U.S.
