3 mars 1911 - Defense Secrets Act of 1911

Description:

AKA: An Act to prevent the disclosure of national defense secrets

One of the first laws in the United States specifically criminalizing the disclosure of government secrets. It was based in part on the British Official Secrets Act of 1889[1] and criminalized obtaining or delivering "information respecting the national defense, to which he is not lawfully entitled". Much of the language of the 1911 law was re-used in the Espionage Act of 1917
