Albertson v. Subversive Activities Control Board
Albertson v. Subversive Activities Control Board, 382 U.S. 70, was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on November 15, 1965, that persons believed to be members of the Communist Party of the United States of America could not be required to register as party members with the Subversive Activities Control Board because the information which party members were required to submit could form the basis of their prosecution for being party members, which was then a crime, and therefore deprived them of their self-incrimination rights under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
