The case involving Benjamin Gitlow, known as Gitlow v. New York (1925), was not overturned; it established the precedent that the First Amendment's free speech protections apply to state governments through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. The Supreme Court upheld Gitlow's conviction for distributing socialist materials, ruling that states could restrict speech that poses a "dangerous tendency." While the decision itself was not overturned, it laid the groundwork for future cases that expanded First Amendment protections.
