The government justified this censorship by arresting Charles Schenck under the Espionage Act of 1917 which outlawed acts seen as disloyal to the United States.

Schenck was arrested for distributing flyers that urged men of age to resist the draft. He asserted that he had the right to distribute these flyers due to free speech.
