Answer 1

Answer: C:Limit opposition to the war in the United States

Step-by-step explanation:

- The Espionage Act of 1918 prohibited spying or secretly watching a person, company, government, etc. for the purpose of gathering secret information or detecting wrongdoing, and to transfer such information to another organization or state. Essentially, the act made it a crime for any person to convey information intended to interfere with the U.S. armed forces prosecution of the war effort or to promote the success of the country's enemies.

- The Sedition Act of 1918 made it illegal for American citizens to "print, utter, or publish... any false, scandalous, and malicious writing" about the government. Essentially, the act curtailed the free speech rights of U.S. citizens during time of war.

- Therefore, both the Espionage Act of 1918 and the Sedition Act of 1918 controlled American citizens in a way that would limit opposition to war in the United States.

- So your answer is C: Limit opposition to the war in the United States.
