One of the first times that the Supreme Court interpreted the full scope of the First Amendment was in 1925. The case was that of Gitlow v. New York.
In Gitlow v. New York (1925), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment's protections of free speech and press apply to state governments through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. The case involved Benjamin Gitlow, who was convicted under New York's Criminal Anarchy Law for distributing a leftist pamphlet. The Court upheld his conviction but established the principle that states cannot infringe upon free speech rights, marking a significant expansion of civil liberties in the United States.
In Gitlow v. New York (1925), the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment's protections of free speech applied to state governments through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. Benjamin Gitlow, who was convicted under a New York law for distributing socialist materials, argued that his free speech rights were violated. The Court upheld his conviction but established the precedent that the Bill of Rights could limit state laws, thereby incorporating federal protections at the state level. This marked a significant step in the process of selective incorporation of the Bill of Rights.
Gitlow v. New York, 268 US 652 (1925), was a decision of the US Supreme Court, which ruled that the 14th Amendment of the Constitution extended certain provisions of the First Amendment - specifically those provisions protecting the freedoms of speech and press - to the governments of the individual states.

Yes, the court did require the state of New York to demonstrate that Gitlow's publications posed a clear and present danger to public safety. In the landmark case Gitlow v. New York (1925), the Supreme Court held that the state could restrict speech if it had a tendency to incite illegal action. However, the emphasis was on whether the speech in question posed a significant threat, establishing a precedent for evaluating free speech in relation to public order.
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.
