LAD/Blog #31: Schenck V. United States

Charles Schenck was an american socialist that did not support the great war. He was constantly distributing fliers to younger men that were telling them to not join the war. He thought that the draft was violating the 13th amendment and constantly shared his opinions in public. He was charged with violating the new Espionage act, and they said he was trying to incite insubordination in the military and naval forces.  He fought against his case saying the Espionage act was violating the first amendment, however he still lost.
