The Espionage Act was enacted in the United States on June 15, 1917, during World War I. It was largely the result of efforts by President Woodrow Wilson's administration to prevent interference with military operations and to protect national security. The legislation was introduced in Congress by Senator Claude Swanson and was supported by various government officials concerned about espionage and sabotage.
