Summary

In this episode of the FCLE Seminar podcast, host Mercedes Musto explores the landmark Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States (1919), which established the Clear and Present Danger Test. The discussion covers the background of the case, the actions of Charles Schenck and Elizabeth Bauer, the implications of the Espionage Act, and the Supreme Court's unanimous decision that upheld Schenck's conviction, balancing free speech rights with national security interests during wartime.
