The correct answer is: his words were a clear and present danger. In the case Schenck v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that speech can be punished if it presents a "clear and present danger" to the United States or its citizens. Schenck, an American citizen, was arrested and convicted for distributing leaflets that urged resistance to the military draft during World War I. The court held that his actions posed a clear and present danger to the recruitment and enlistment of soldiers, and therefore, his speech was not protected by the First Amendment.
