LAD #30 Schenck vs. U.S.

Charles Schenck was an American man who promoted the avoidance of the draft. Schenck believed that the draft was a direct violation of the 13th Amendment, ironically he was later found to be in violation of the Espionage Act because he was interfering with the military. As a result of this case the clear and present danger rule was created, meaning that since he was a danger to the nation he doesn't have the right to freedom of speech.
