Definición

  • The Espionage and Sedition acts, passed in the midst of World War I, were separate pieces of legislation designed to limit treacherous behavior in wartime and to promote patriotism. The first, the Espionage Act, was approved on June 15, 1917, and set fines of up to $10,000 and prison terms for citizens who aided the enemy.
