The Debs Decision (1919) - Scott Nearing - Bog

Bag om The Debs Decision (1919)

The Debs Decision is a book written by Scott Nearing and published in 1919. The book is a detailed account of the landmark Supreme Court case, Debs v. United States, which dealt with the constitutionality of the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918. The case involved Eugene V. Debs, a prominent labor leader and socialist who was convicted for delivering an anti-war speech during World War I. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal arguments presented in the case, as well as the political and social context in which the case took place. It explores the implications of the decision for free speech and civil liberties in the United States, and its impact on the labor movement and socialist politics. Nearing, a prominent socialist and activist, brings his own perspective to the case, arguing that the conviction of Debs was a violation of the First Amendment and a threat to democracy. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the political and legal climate of the early 20th century, and the struggles of those who fought for free speech and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
