The Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 were enacted during wartime to limit dissent and protect national security, which often conflicted with First Amendment rights regarding free speech. Critics argue that these acts suppress political expression and opposition, thereby infringing on the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment. However, the Supreme Court has historically upheld certain restrictions on speech in the context of national security, suggesting a complex balance between government interests and individual rights. Ultimately, the legality and ethical implications of these acts in relation to the First Amendment remain subjects of debate.
