Schenck v United States (1919) established the clear and present danger test, allowing restrictions on speech that poses a clear and present danger of government overthrow.
Schenck defined the limits of free speech during wartime and established that First Amendment protections are not absolute.
Schenck has been largely replaced by more protective free speech standards in later cases.
