Eight months after the Schenck decision, the Court again applied the clear and present danger principle. Holmes dissented in tha

t case, stating that unlike the Schenck case, actions of the convicted man in the second case had little or no effect on the nation's war effort. What do you think this reveals about Holmes's attitude toward free speech guarantees?

During WWI, twosocialists, Charles Schenck and Elizabeth Baer handed out fliers in which they stated that the draft was violating the Thirteenth Amendment by obliging citizens to go to war against their will, or in other words, to oblige them to involuntary servitude.

These activitists thought that the First Amendment, which guarantees citizen's rights such as the freedom of speech would protect them. Their case ended up being discussed by the US Supreme Court, which decided that the First Amendment does not confer the right to complain against the war effort or to obstruct the draft.

The range of offences that are considered a crime are stated in the Espionage Act of 1917 and The Sedition Act of 1918, which extended the first.

Holmes was part of the Supreme Court judges who decided in the Schenck case. He introduced the concept of "clear and present danger", that should be tested to determine under which circumstances limits should be placed the First Amendment freedoms: assembly, press and speech.

His position is clear when he tries to implement mechanisms that can circumvent the universal civil rights that all citizens should enjoy according to the Constitution. There should be no limits to those freedoms, as it is the same as not guaranteeing them.

What are the causes of the French revolution be sure to enlighten
exis [7]

Answer:

unequal distribution of wealth

divine right of the monarch was perceived to be too arbitrary.

corruption

increase in the tax

Explanation:

The French Revolution which lasted from 1787 to 1799 had several factors that contributed to its cause. One of the major causes was the unequal distribution of wealth between the bourgeois and poor people.

The divine right of the monarch was perceived to be too arbitrary. Intellectuals and enlightenment advocates started to criticize such right. In time, more people started to join the enlightenment movement.

The rise in corruption among the royal family and nobles and increase in the tax both contributed immensely to the cause. Apart from these causes, French involvement in the American Revolution, bankruptcy and economic failure all attributed to the rise of the revolution.
