Answer 2

Answer: C. speech aimed to potentially create danger could be banned.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles Schenck and Elizabeth Baer were two socialists who circulated pamphlets urging disobedience through peaceful action from the public because they understood that the draft during World War I infringed the Thirteenth Amendment ban on involuntary servitude. They were convicted of violating the Espionage Act of 1917 by trying to create insubordination, and they appealed claiming that the Espionage Act violated the First Amendment. However, in Schenck v. United States (1919), the Court stated that it was a proper application of Congress’ wartime authority.
