Answer 1

The correct answer is A (Schenck vs United States 1919)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hamilton was of the opinion that it is highly possible for a bill of rights to have detrimental effects on the society and this can be pictured from the case between Schenck vs United States, in which the United States Supreme Court ruled they could restrict the First Amendment which afforded speech freedom if the words posed a clear danger to the society.
