Answer 1

The answer is B.

Schenk vs US involves a freedom of speech case in which Schenk encouraged American citizens to avoid the military draft during World War I.

The Supreme Court ruled this was not protected free speech because it provides a clear and present danger to American citizens. The court felt that influencing people to not join the war presented a danger to America’s war effort.
