7-Espionage and Sedition Acts (1917) (1 gen 1917 anni – 1 gen 1917 anni)

Descrizione:

Sedition Act
A law passed by Congress in 1918 (during World War I) to make it illegal to say anything disloyal, profane, or abusive about the government or the war effort in WWI. Seen as a military necessity by some for effectively fighting in WWI.

[Many found issues with this as it went against the first amendment, as anyone who spoke in disagreement was considered an "enemy" or unloyal to America.]
