Answer 2

In times of war, free speech may be more limited than in times of peace

Step-by-step explanation:

The case Schenck v. United States was a case ruled by the US Supreme Court in 1917. During that period, after the US entered WWI the Congress passed the Espionage Act of 1917, which had the goal to prohibit interference with military operations or recruitment, preventing insubordination in the military and preventing the support of hostile enemies during wartime.

In this case, the US Supreme Court decided that the Espionage Act did not violate the First Amendment because it was an appropriate exercise of Congress during wartime. The court also said that the government has greater deference during wartime and in this period even constitutional rights are at stake.
