Gitlow v. New York

Girlow had been charged with teaching the necessity and duty to overthrow the government, and Court voted 7 to 2 to uphold Gitlow's conviction for violating the 1902 New York Criminal Anarchy Act.
Just like Miller v. California, I think he deserves to go to jail for influencing people with preaching and teacher this idea of overthrowing government.


Little project done by students.

The Act defined \criminal anarchy as "the doctrine that organized government should be overthrown by force or violence, or by assassination of the executive head or any of the executive officials of government, or by any unlawful means."
