Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss how Justice Holmes argued that government could only restrict speech that presented a clear and present danger.
2, Explain how the meaning of the clear and present danger language was debated in the years that followed and that Holmes himself argued that the Court had interpreted it too broadly.
3, Note that the clear and present danger test was modified and essentially replaced by the imminent lawless action standard from Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969).
