The U.S. Supreme Court reversed Brandenburg's conviction, holding that government cannot constitutionally punish abstract advocacy of force or law violation. The majority opinion was per curiam, issued from the Court as an institution, rather than as authored and signed by an individual justice.
Did Brandenburg win the case?
Supreme Court overturned conviction
With the help of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and others, Brandenburg appealed to the Ohio intermediate appeal court, which upheld his conviction without opinion.
Who won the Brandenburg case?
The law dated from the First World War era and responded to then-widespread concerns about anarchists, socialists, and communists. Brandenburg was convicted and sentenced to one to 10 years in prison, as well as a fine. His conviction was affirmed by a state appellate court and dismissed by the state Supreme Court.
