The quotation below is from Schenck v. United States, a famous Supreme Court decision. The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely
shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic. ... The question in every case is
whether the words used ... are of such a nature as to create a clear and present
danger... that Congress has a right to prevent.
Based on this decision, which conclusion can be made about our constitutional rights?
Under our Constitution, freedom is more important than safety.
Congress has the power to limit our freedom of speech whenever it wishes.
None of our rights would be secure if we treated everyone's rights as unlimited.
Because our freedom of speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment, it cannot be restricted.
