On what key point did holmes and clarke disagree

Citrus2011 [14]

Good Morning!

John H. Clark and Oliver Wendell Holmes disagreed on the Espionage Act of 1917, which punished anyone who opposed US participation in the Great War. For Clark, anti-war pamphlets and advertisements harmed the US and endangered national integrity. For Holmes, it is fully guaranteed by constitutional freedom, any stances contrary to an attitude of the central government.

Hugs!
