United States v. O’BrienDavid Paul O’Brien was arrested for burning his
draft card but claimed a 1965 law against it limited his freedom of “symbolic speech”
In a 7-1 decision, the Supreme Court decided that the government can limit free expression under four conditions including…When it is important to a government interestWhen that government interest is unrelated to
free speechWhen free speech is not limited any more than is
necessaryThe Court decided that the 1965 law against
destroying draft cards was in fact constitutionalThe Selective Service Act remained in force and
O’Brien’s conviction was upheld
