Benjamin Gitlow, in the case of Gitlow v. New York, argued strongly that A. his First Amendment rights were being violated.

  • The First Amendment guaranteed freedom of speech as a right for every citizen.

  • According to the Supreme Court, New York could not abridge or prevent free speech because of the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause.

  • With this clause, the state enacted the New York Criminal Anarchy Law of 1902, criminalizing any act that encourages the violent overthrow of government.

  • The New York Criminal Anarchy Law had followed  earlier publication by Gitlow of "The Revolutionary Age's" Left Wing Manifesto.

Thus, the case was monumental in making the First Amendment rights an integral part of the 14th Amendment.
