The Supreme Court's decision in Schenck v. United States (1919) established the "clear and present danger" test, which limited free speech during wartime.

This ruling set a precedent for future cases, emphasizing that free speech is not absolute and can be curtailed under certain circumstances.

The occurrence of the Red Scare and the Supreme Court's decision in Schenck v. U.S. highlight the tension between national security and civil liberties during times of perceived crisis. The Schenck ruling established that free speech could be limited when it posed a "clear and present danger," which was further exploited during the Red Scare to justify the suppression of dissent and political dissenters. Together, these events illustrate how fear can lead to the erosion of constitutional rights in the name of security.
