In this excerpt, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes explains his ruling in Schenck v. United States. What argument is Holmes making a

bout personal rights and free speech? The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent. –Schenck v. United States

Answer:

In the excerpt, Justice Holmes is arguing, as he himself said " that whether the personal right of free speech can be infringed is a question of proximity and degree". In other words, free speech can be restricted if the speech is calling for the commitment of a crime.

In the case that brought the Court's decision, two members of the Socialist Party of the United States were convicted because they were distribuing flyers that opposed military drafting for World War I. Opposing the draft, or promoting opposition to it, was illegal under the Espionage Act of 1917, and the Supreme Court considered that those prohibitions were constitutional because the nation was at war.

To sum up, what Justice Holmes is saying is that expressing opposition to a war is a form of free speech, but promoting draft-dodging is not.

Black_prince [1.1K]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

"Estudia las formas de gobierno, la función de los poderes del estado , su interacción y dinámica , así como las normas que regulan las practicas estatales " ¿A que enfoque de la ciencia política pertenece?

La respuesta es el enfoque Marxista.

El enfoque Marxista estudia el modelo político-económico de los países socialistas. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la Unión Soviética expandió su poder e influencia en varios países de Europa del Este como Polonia, Checoslovaquia, Hungría, Albania, y Rumanía.  De igual manera, el Comunismo se expandió por otras regiones como Corea del Norte, Vietnam del Norte, y Cuba, en la época de Fidel Castro.

Dentro de este enfoque, los historiadores se enfocan en las formas de gobierno de izquierda, la función de los poderes del estado que es dueño de los sistemas de producción , su interacción y dinámica y las normas que regulan las practicas del Estado.
