Question

What was banned as a result of Near v. Minnesota?

Answer 1

The Case of Near v. Minessota was a decision made by the United States Supreme Court and ruled that prior restraints on publications was a violation of freedom of the press that was protected under the First Amendment. This ruling was made for The Saturday Press newspaper, which had an restraint on the basis on antisemtism and anti blacks sentiments. Even though it was unethical for them to publish those prints, even at the time (1931) they still had the right to do so. It was determined that the only time that the government could interfere with the publication of news was that if the article revealed secrets of the State.
