  • Schenck v. United States was a Supreme Court Case that explained some limits to the Freedom of Speech afforded by the First Amendment. During World War I, the US instituted a military draft. Many people released anti-war and anti-government information due to their displeasure with the draft. Charles Schenck, an anti-war socialist, was arrested by the Federal Government for circulating a pamphlet encouraging men to resist the draft and violating the Espionage Act of 1917. The Supreme Court ruled that wartime circumstances changed the rules related to free speech and resulted in the “Clear and Present Danger” rule.

    Rights exist or they do not. Regardless whether the government is waging war, the natural rights of individuals do not change depending on circumstance

      That is true, but if you want to live in a society and enjoy the benefits of it then you must relinquish some of the rights you would enjoy in a state of nature. This is part of the social contract. For example you might run around the jungle completely naked taking whatever you wish. In a society you must wear clothes and limits yourself and your freedoms for the good of others. That's the deal., i.e. the social contract. It sucks sometimes but consider the alternative.

      @@glennwatson3313 Your reply insinuates that I did not read what you wrote, which is insulting and qualifies repeating yourself as rude.
      Frankly, your original comment was too loosely worded to determine if you actually comprehended the issues at hand. I chose to believe you did and were merely writing informally, so I responded in kind with a logical extension of your argument: “Because you cannot provide me an acceptable alternative, my conclusion must be true”. My apologies, I will make no more assumptions.
      If your demand is I address the falseness of the your premises and/or the dichotomy you were attempting to establish, you will need to overhaul your statement for clarity. I’ll get you started:
      Rousseau claims that natural rights are inalienable, which would render them impossible to relinquish.
      I await your thoughtful response.

      @@tcorourke2007 I am not insinuating it I am flat out saying it. I wrote a post about the social contract . You ignored the social contact and made a flippant reply. It was at the very least a disingenuous thing to do.
      As far as my being being rude, that is nonsense. If you did not like the way I wrote my post that is your prerogative.
      As far as demands you imagine I am making let me put your mind to rest. I am making no demands, merely pointing out what happened.
      My position is clear. We live in a society and enjoy the benefits . That requires the relinquishing of some rights that exist in a state of nature. Schenck did not want to give up a right to speak out during war but he wanted to enjoy living in the United States. He could no have it both ways.
      If you are trying to deny the social contact and its limiting effect on natural rights I would like to hear you argument. If, as I suspect, you want to turn this into a personal assessment of of my capabilities I will lose interest quickly.
      The bottom line is I want to hear what you think about the topic at hand. I could care less what you think about me or the way I write.
      Rousseau did talk about inalienable rights but Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau also talk about the social contract. Which is a deal made between the government and the people. And like any contract you are required to give and take. The people give up some rights in exchange for the benefits of society.
      For example if you want to run around naked, have at it, in a state of nature. But you can't do that on main street. I'm sorry if you don't like it but that is the deal. Schenck did not like losing his right to speak against the war. He wanted the benefits of society and all of his rights as well, without qualification
      Nothing is impossible to relinquish. You have to cooperate to live in society.
      I will read your reply as long as it sticks to the topic.

      @@zhouwu The prosecution was indeed abandoned, but the ruling ended up spiraling into a series of sedition arrests that grew more and more tenuous each case. Eventually in Abrams V United states, Abrams was sentenced 10 to 20 years for sedition after he urged for the reduction of the production of war-essential materials. This itself was so far pulled from Schenck's case that Abram's argument was indeed valid before the supreme court decided otherwise.
