Gitlow v. New York

US Supreme Court decision of 1925 dealing with state legislation that restricts freedom of speech. Benjamin Gitlow, editor of the left-wing Manifesto, was convicted, under a New York state law, of advocating the violent overthrow of the government. The Court upheld the law, ruling that First Amendment rights are secondary to the preservation of the state.
