General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Henry v. City of Rock Hill, 376 U.S. 776 (1964)
Henry v. City of Rock Hill No. 826 Decided April 6, 1964 376 U.S. 776
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE
SUPREME COURT OF NORTH CAROLINA
Syllabus
After this Court granted certiorari, vacated the judgment holding petitioners guilty of breach of the peace, and remanded the case to the Supreme Court of South Carolina "for further consideration in light of Edwards v. South Carolina," that court found Edwards and the later case of Fields v. South Carolina, 375 U.S. 44, not controlling, and reaffirmed the convictions.
Held: Edwards and Fields, which established that the peaceful expression of unpopular views at a place not lawfully proscribed by state law is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment from state criminal action, are controlling here.
Certiorari granted and judgment reversed.
