The blog shifts to review...

Due to the upcoming AP test, we shift our focus to review. Stay tuned for a different buzzword daily, followed for your opportunity for discussion right here on the blog.

*Also - a BIG REMINDER for my review session on Tuesday April 18th, from 7-8 AM. The topic is the Presidency and Congress. You know you want to be there!*

All right, onto the vocab....

Buzzword of the day: CLEAR & PRESENT DANGER DOCTRINE

What it means: Established in Schenck v United States (1919), it gives the government the right to censor free speech if, during national emergencies such as war, it can be proven that the result of the speech will significantly hurt national security. Has been applied to many other situations, such as yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre or "Bomb!" on an airplane (think of "Meet the Parents").
