MYA US HISTORY 2020-2021

Question: 1-3
The excerpt below was written by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in the decision of Schenck v. United States (1919).
The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire
in a theatre and causing a panic.... The question in every case is whether the words used are
used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger
that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.
Which conduct did the US Supreme Court determine was a clear and present danger" in this case?
O newspaper articles criticizing U.S. entry into the war
the presence of Japanese Americans on the West Coast
demonstrations in which protestors burned American flags
o the mailing of pamphlets advising young men to resist the draft
