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.
The impact of Gitlow v. New York caused courts to prohibit the types of speech that could be suppressed by the government. The ruling in Gitlow v. New York was thrown out in the 1930's.
