Abstract
The Court held that South Carolina had violated the protesters' First Amendment rights to peaceful expression, assembly, and petition. Freedom of Assembly Versus Rioting The right to freedom of assembly, also found in the First Amendment of the Constitution, is similarly not unfettered. The Court upheld the Espionage Act, stating it did not violate the First Amendment: Writing for a unanimous Court, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes concluded that courts owed a greater deference to the government during wartime, even when constitutional rights were at stake. Americans cherish their right to peacefully protest and make their voices heard under the First Amendment. [Extracted from the article]
