Final answer:
The correct answer is option a) Yes, he disagreed and supported the Espionage Act, Sedition Act, and Trading with the Enemy Act to suppress dissent.
Step-by-step explanation:
President Wilson disagreed with the vigilantism sparked by super-patriotism. He supported three Acts to suppress dissent during wartime: the Espionage Act, Sedition Act, and Trading with the Enemy Act.
The Espionage Act of 1917 prohibited giving aid to the enemy and any public comments that opposed the American war effort. The Sedition Act of 1918 prohibited any criticism or disloyal language against the federal government, military, or flag. The Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 prohibited individual trade with an enemy nation.
These acts allowed for fines, imprisonment, and even deportation as punishment for dissent. They were aimed at silencing opposition and stifling criticism of the government and the war effort.
