Question

In the case Schenk v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution does not protect a person when "falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing panic." Which of the following rights was limited in this case?

Answer 1

Freedom of speech.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Freedom of speech is a principal that advocates the freedom of a person to state his/her opinion freely and to impart information and ideas without any restrictions.

• However, in the case of Schenk v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution does not protect a person when "falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing panic" because freedom of speech does not protect speech that has the potential to incite danger and disharmony in the society.
• Therefore, in the case of Schenk v. United States, freedom of speech of First Amendment was limited.
