government suppression of social activism  

Définition(s)

  • Government suppression of controversial political activity is an institutional feature of U.S. politics in the 20th and 21st centuries. While there is a strong American tradition of free speech and political assembly, with support in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution, government concerns for stability and to fight social change created a large network of official spying, as well as state and federal sedition, criminal anarchy, and criminal conspiracy laws, which have been used to suppress activism.
