The Espionage Act of 1917 was considered unconstitutional by some because it was seen as infringing on the First Amendment rights of free speech and free press. Critics argued that the act's broad definitions allowed for the suppression of dissent and criticism of the government, especially during wartime. This raised concerns about its potential to stifle political opposition and limit public discourse. Legal challenges highlighted the tension between national security interests and individual civil liberties.
