Answer 1

Espionage Act:

Penalized anyone who obstructed the operation of the armed forces, was insubordinate, or displayed disloyalty within the forces.

This form of legislation was made to discriminate against anti-war groups, convicting more than 1,000 people. The government designed this act to exile foreign radicals and deal with dissenting U.S. citizens in order to "defend the republic."

Sedition Act:

Stated that when the U.S. is at war, anyone who makes false reports or statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or navy, or promote the success of its enemies, or be suspected of insubordination, disloyalty, or mutiny, will be fined no more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than 20 years or both.

These acts had banned Socialist materials from the mail and disrupted Socialist and IWW meetings.

These acts were the most restrictive in American history since the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. Citizens could now be prosecuted for writing or uttering any sentiment that could possibly be constituted as bad for the government.
