Question

In _____, the Supreme Court ruled that the government may restrict civil liberties when not doing so results in "clear and present danger."

Answer 1

Schenck v. United States

Answer 2

Schenck v. the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

The clear and present danger was a doctrine adopted by the United States Supreme Court to check in what cases the First Amendment right granted of freedom of speech could be restrained.

The Schenk v. United States case was a landmark decision in 1919. On it, the Court stated that the freedom of speech right could be restrained if the word spoken on the speech represents a "clear and present danger" to society.

Schenk was the general secretary of the U.S. Socialist Party and he rejected the military draft in the country. He printed a lot of leaflets that called men to resist the military draft and avoid going to war.
