The Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 aimed to suppress dissent and criticism of the U.S. government's involvement in World War I. They made it illegal to interfere with military operations or support enemies of the U.S., as well as to criticize the government, flag, or military. These acts led to the prosecution of many individuals, including socialists and anti-war activists, thereby stifling free speech and political opposition during a time of national crisis. Ultimately, they reflected the tension between national security and civil liberties in wartime.
