Definición
- Focusing on the issue of vagueness, the Supreme Court in Baggett v. Bullitt , 377 U.S. 360 (1964), struck down the 1931 and 1955 provisions of a Washington state law that mandated loyalty oaths for state employees, thereby interfering with their First Amendment rights of association. The 1931 statute, which applied only to teachers, required them to “promote respect for the flag and the institutions of the United States of America and the State of Washington.” The 1955 statute required all state employees to affirm that they were not “subversive” and that they were not aiding the Communist Party of the United States.
