Sullivan (1964): This case is about a full-page ad alleging the arrest of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. for perjury in Alabama. The fake ad’s intention was to destroy King’s effort to encourage black Americans to vote.

Ohio (1969): Brandenburg, a leader of Ku Klux Klan was charged for making a speech during their rally which violated the Ohio criminal syndicalism law. The law made illegal advocating “crime, sabotage, violence, or unlawful methods of terrorism as a means of accomplishing industrial or political reform,” as well as assembling “with any society, group, or assemblage of persons formed to teach or advocate the doctrines of criminal syndicalism.” This case resulted in The Brandenburg or Incitement test.
