Gitlow vs. New York : An 11 page paper arguing the validity
of the Supreme Court decision of this case. Gitlow v. New
York was decided in 1925 and is studied today as a classic case
of the limits of the freedom of speech guaranteed under the First
Amendment. New York tried and convicted Benjamin Gitlow
on charges of criminal anarchy in two counts: one was for
advocating the overthrow of the government; the other was for
publishing a booklet doing the same. The reason for the
continued interest in the case is not so much the issue of
freedom of speech for the individual, but is studied more for the
value of both the majority opinion and the dissenting view of
Justices Holmes and Brandeis. Each side presents value in their
arguments, but it appears from the perspective of 75 years later
that the dissenting view is more reasonable than that of the
majority. Bibliography lists 11 sources. Gitlowny.wps
