2In this case, the Supreme Court held that words
that had a direct tendency to provoke the person
to whom the words are addressed, are NOT
protected by the free speech clause of the First
Amendment. The court thus announced the fighting
words doctrine.

3In this case, the Supreme Court upheld the
conviction of defendants who were charged with
violating the Espionage Act by distributing
leaflets aimed at inciting draft resistance
during WWI. The antidraft rhetoric caused a
clear and present danger to the success of the
war effort, and was NOT protected speech.

content of a student newspaper published as part
of the schools journalism curriculum.

5In this case, the Supreme Court held that burning
an American Flag is expressive conduct, protected
by the First Amendment. Expressive conduct, the
Supreme Court explained, is intended to convey a
message that the observers would likely
understand.

6In this case, the Supreme Court upheld the
convictions of several Communist Party members
for advocating the violent overthrow of the
United States government in violation of the
federal Smith Act. The court applied the
clear-and-present danger test announced in the
Schenck case.

7In this case, the Supreme Court reversed the
conviction of a member of the Ku Klux Klan and
held that laws that punish people for advocating
social change through violence violate the First
Amendment. This type of speech is protected
UNLESS the advocation of immediate lawlessness
takes place.

8In this case, the Supreme Court made it clear
that students have only a limited right to free
speech while at school. A school does NOT have to
tolerate student speech that is inconsistent with
its educational mission, even if the same speech
would be protected elsewhere.
