The Facts of Schenck v. United States:
The 1917 Espionage Act made it a crime to cause or attempt to cause
insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty, in the military forces
of the United States. Schenck was arrested and charged with conspiring to
violate the act by sending two draftees a document opposing the draft and urging
them not to submit to intimidation. The document did not explicitly advocate
illegal resistance to the draft.
