Answer:
In Schenck v. United States (1919), the Supreme Court ruled that<u> First Amendment rights do not apply in wartime.</u>
Explanation:
During World War I, Charles Schenck, general secretary of the U.S. Socialist Party, distributed leaflets opposing the implementation of a military draft alleging that it violated the 13th Amendment prohibition against involuntary servitude, and urging people to disobey the draft through peaceful action.
Schenck was charged with violating the Espionage Act of 1917 by attempting to cause insubordination in the military and to disrupt the recruitment process.
Before the Supreme Court, Schenck alleged that the Espionage Act actually violated the First Amendment (an amendment that guaranteed freedom of speech and of the press).
Nevertheless, the Court ruled that the First Amendment didn't protect freedom of speech and expression during war times, especially if the speech represented a clear and present danger toward the war efforts like Schenck's leaflets.
