Analyzing the Impact of First Amendment Freedoms Applied to States

This study evaluates the application of the First Amendment fundamental freedoms, including Freedom of Speech, Press, Religion, Petition, and Assembly, to states. Examining landmark cases such as Schenck v. United States (1919) and Dennis v. U.S. (1951), it delves into the limits on political speech that pose potential dangers to society. The research also explores the evolution of standards like the "bad tendency test" established in Gitlow v. New York (1925), extending the First Amendment to states. Further, it recognizes Freedom of Association as deriving from the rights of petition and assembly. Additionally, the analysis touches on cases such as Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) and Roe v. Wade (1973) concerning privacy rights, particularly in personal sex life and abortion. Finally, it discusses how anti-loitering laws have been implemented by local communities to prevent groups from congregating in public spaces.
