This timeline show about the role of the Supreme Court in defining limits on free speech that i n times of war, free speech may be more limited than in times of peace. This is because the free speech can go against the government and such the government does not want any critiques from the citizens.

The correct answer is: In times of war, free speech may be more limited than in times of peace. This is the case because of the intricacies surrounding wartime that may necessitate the limiting of certain rights in order for a nation to successfully navigate through such a period.
