In 1919, the Supreme Court ruled the case in favor of the United States. The case had to do with the Espionage Act of 1917 that was put into place due to The Great War. Charles Schenk mailed brochures about the draft being a ridiculous monstrous thing. The Supreme Court had to decide whether the freedom of speech protected his actions or not. In wartime, the same things are not as tolerable as they are during peace.
