IMPORTANT Supreme COURT DECISIONS Abrams v. U.S. (1919): TESTED CONSTITUIONALITY OF SEDITION ACT This U.S. Supreme Court decision upheld the constitutionality of the Sedition Act (1918) which made it a crime to speak disloyally of the U.S. government or interfere with the war effort. Schenck v. U.S. (1919): TESTED CONST. OF ESPIONAGE ACT Under the Espionage Act of 1917 persons who interfered with the war effort by making speeches or writing articles encouraging violating of draft laws were subject to imprisonment. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. sustained the constitutionality of the Espionage Act on the grounds that freedom of speech and press may be limited when there is a “clear and present danger” to the nation.
