Trivia: Oliver W. Holmes said free speech should only be limited during what?
Wartime
The presence of children
Political partisanship
Clear and present danger
The correct answer is Clear and present danger
So why is this answer correct? : Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. was known as “the Great Dissenter” for the intelligence of his opinions, and his brilliance as a writer gave us some of the more enduring lines from Supreme Court decisions. With regard to free speech, Holmes wrote that it should only be curtailed by “clear and present danger,” and “the most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting ‘fire’ in a crowded theater.”
