During World War 1, President Woodrow Wilson understood the nature of the political landscape. This included the realization of people within the government who would be against the country’s participation in the war.  At the same time he was worried that some people within the country would help the country’s enemies by leaking information. In order to stop that he came up with Espionage Act in 1917[1] and the Sedition Act[2]  in 1918 which would punish anyone who would be found collaborating with the enemies of the state or would by way of opinion oppose or influence citizens against participating in World War 1. The two acts would go to serve for the war period, and were only repealed in 1921 after the war.  This paper is going to specifically discuss the implication of Espionage and Seditious Acts between World War 1 and their implications of those acts today.
