Taking First Amendment jurisprudence to its limit, Douglas felt that any law restricting speech should be facially unconstitutional under the First Amendment, no matter how significant the government interest advanced. The Court found that the restrictions on the government's ability to control speech needed to be tightened beyond that deferential standard.īlack mostly agreed with Douglas (see below) and also pointed out that the majority's test was more novel than it claimed, discarding most significant precedents. This decision also marked the end of the bad tendency test created in decisions like Abrams v. By contrast, simply advocating a viewpoint without encouraging people to act on it, or encouraging people to act in a way that they could not be expected to act, would be protected by the First Amendment. It ruled that the government cannot forbid this type of speech unless it is both directed to inciting such action and is likely to actually incite it.

Once this footage became public, Ohio authorities charged Brandenburg (who had made one of the speeches) with advocating violence under a criminal syndicalism statute.
