Définition
- Although the majority Supreme Court decision in Whitney v. California , 274 U.S. 357 (1927), upholding the conviction of an individual from the Communist Labor Party has been overturned, Justice Louis D. Brandeis’s concurring opinion in defense of free speech has become a milestone in First Amendment jurisprudence. Charlotte Anita Whitney was an educated young woman from a wealthy and influential family in Oakland, California, who had joined prohibitionist and suffragette organizations and the Socialist Party.
