The Espionage Act was enacted on June 15, 1917, during World War I, aimed at prohibiting interference with military operations and supporting U.S. enemies. The Sedition Act, an amendment to the Espionage Act, was passed on May 16, 1918, and it further criminalized speech and actions deemed disloyal or abusive toward the U.S. government. Both acts were part of a broader effort to suppress dissent and maintain national security during wartime.
