In 1798, the United States was on the verge of war with France. Less than a decade after we adopted the First Amendment, which provides that "Congress shall make in no law... abridging the freedom of speech," Congress, the throes of war fever, enacted the Sedition Act of 1798, which effectively made it a crime for any person to criticize the president, the Congress, or the government of the United States. So much for the First Amendment. the Civil Abraham Lincoln Sixty years later, during War, suspended the writ of habeas corpus on eight separate habeas is one occasions. As you know, the writ of corpus of the bulwarks ofAnglo-American law. If you are seized by executive officials, the writ of habeas corpus enables you James Ji. '06, and Audrey Jeung, '06 During World War I, President Wilson pushed through Congress the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, which made it a crime for any person to criticize the the government, the Congress, the president, the flag, Constitution, the military, or the uniform of the military of the United States. Some 2,000 individuals were prosecuted under these laws. The punishment for criticizing the war or the draft typically ranged from ten to twenty years in prison. The effect was to stifle virtually all dissent. In World War II, President Roosevelt ordered the internment of more than 110,000 people ofJapanese descent, two-thirds of whom were American citizens. Not a single one of these men, women, or children was ever accused of disloyalty, espionage, sabotage, or any other unlawful act.
