Beauharnais v. Illinois
''Beauharnais v. Illinois'', , was a case that came before the United States Supreme Court in 1952. The result was that an Illinois law making it illegal to publish or exhibit any writing or picture portraying the "depravity, criminality, unchastity, or lack of virtue of a class of citizens of any race, color, creed or religion" was upheld.
The defendant in Beauharnais distributed a leaflet "setting forth a petition calling on the Mayor and City Council of Chicago 'to halt the further encroachment, harassment and invasion of white people, their property, neighborhoods and persons, by the Negro.'" His criminal conviction by the trial court was sustained by the Illinois Supreme Court which the U.S. Supreme Court upheld after rejecting the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process challenge.
In his opinion Justice Frankfurter argued that the speech conducted by the defendant breached libel, which is reasoned to be outside the protection of the 1st and 14th Amendments.
==Subsequent history==
Although ''Beauharnais'' has never been explicitly overturned, subsequent Supreme Court decisions such as ''New York Times Co. v. Sullivan'' adopted a more speech protective position.〔Schwartz, Bernard. ''The Warren Court: A Retrospective'', p.78. Oxford University Press, 1996.〕
