The Chancery Court held that the statute violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which protects citizens from state interference with freedom of speech and thought as contained in the constitution's First Amendment.
O xulgado do condado considerou que a lei violaba a 14ª emenda da Constitución dos Estados Unidos, que protexe aos cidadáns do estado de interferencias coas liberdades de expresión e ensinanza contidas na Primeira Emenda.
