Abstract
Protections for free speech increased throughout the 20th century. In reviewing cases that arose from the Espionage Act in World War I, the Supreme Court established a "clear and present danger" standard. Even during the McCarthy era, the idea of criminal prohibitions against anti-government speech was not a factor. Flag-burning incidents so repugnant to most people in this country are examples of the right of U. S. citizens to say unpopular things.
