Answer:
In June 1917, Congress passed the Espionage Act. Congress passed the Sedition Act of 1918, which made it a federal offense to use disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language about the Constitution, the government, the American uniform, or the flag. The government prosecuted over 2,100 people under these acts.
The Sedition Act of 1918 was an amended piece of legislation that strengthened the terms of the Espionage Act of 1917. The Espionage Act targeted those individuals who interfered with the draft and who publicly criticized the government.
