The correct answer is B) Urged Americans to oppose the military draft during World War I.

This famous incident resulted in the Supreme Court case Schenk vs. US.

In this Supreme Court case, Schenk argued that his anti-war stance should be protected under the first amendment right of freedom of speech. However, the Supreme Court ruled against Schenk. The justices stated that Schenk's speech presented a "clear and present danger" to American society, hence why it was not protected by the first amendment right to free speech.

Which of the following best states an interpretation of the Second Amendment?

deff fn [24]

Answer:

There should be no limits on owning and using guns.

Explanation:

The Second Amendment was added to the constitution to protect people's right to keep and bear arms and the government's right to establish a Militia for the defense of the nation. Therefore, "There should be no limits on owning and using guns" is the statement that best interprets the statute because the statute is not specific enough, it can be broadly understood that since people have the right to own arms for self-defense, they also have the right to use them when there is a threat to their security.

The amendment states: <em>A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, </em><em>the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.</em>
