About this ebook
Delve into one of the most significant cases in US labor and constitutional law with 'The Debs Decision'. Covering Debs v. United States, this compelling book tells the story of Eugene V. Debs, a labor and political leader who was arrested and convicted under the Espionage Act of 1917 for making an anti-war speech during World War I. The case hinged on whether Debs' speech constituted mutiny and treason or was protected under the First Amendment. Ultimately, the Supreme Court upheld Debs' conviction, along with two other cases that restricted free speech. This thought-provoking book sheds light on an important moment in US history and its ongoing impact on the rights of citizens.
