Charles Schenck and Elizabeth Baer were convicted under the 1917 Espionage Act for mailing leaflets encouraging men to resist the military draft. They appealed to the Supreme Court on the grounds that the conviction violated their free speech rights.
The Supreme Court upheld their convictions, ruling that speech that creates a “clear and present danger” (by encouraging violence or insurrection, or endangering national security) is not protected by the First Amendment.

Armed with that knowledge it affected everyone as they could walk into an air port, say they have a you know what and not get in trouble, now they would get in trouble with a whole list of charges. this also heavily affected the way criminals behaved as they have to be very careful what they say to certain people as that could pick them up an additional charge.

Answer:

due to Napoleons lust for a french empire, his conquest led to the unification of the German states and the formation of multi nation alliances, those alliances dragging many nations into world war one, and the treaty of Versailles, which placed blame on the Germans for the war and also huge war reparations leading to a hit on German pride and also hyperinflation of the German Mark, leaving the citizens weak to strong nationalism with historical anti-Semitism (predominantly caused my Martin Luther) allowing Adolf Hitler to easily enter office and take over the government leading to the rise of the third Reich and a reclamation of all German land taken from them by the allied powers of WWI. with weak push back from the allies (Munich agreement) Germany quickly annexed more and more land creating more nationalism and lust for a great German state
