The best answer is The act infringed upon the freedom of speech and freedom of press.

As expected from a period of war, the government had to make sure their acts were not criticized and disavowed, for this matter The Sedition Act of 1918 was created. This act extended penalties for those who obstruct the government's sale of war bonds or for saying, writing, or printing anything “disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive” about the American form of government, the Constitution, or the army and navy. As expected, many Americans consider this Act to be a violation of civil rights because infringed upon the freedom of speech and freedom of the press, now that anything should be evaluated by the government.

Some scholars Why did the Puritans leave England for America?
Temka [501]
<span>The Puritans separated from the churches in their local parishes where preaching was viewed as inadequate, hiring their own lecturers who were well-versed in reform theology. These lecturers were prosecuted by the monarch and Church of England officials. The last straw may have been when King Charles I dissolved Parliament in 1629. This dissolution prevented Puritan leaders from working within the system to effect change and left them vulnerable to persecution. Moderate Puritans chartered the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the same year. The New World represented both a refuge from persecution and an opportunity to establish a “Zion in the wilderness.” Puritans imagined their migration to the New World mirrored the Biblical story of Exodus. Between 1629 and 1640, over 20,000 men, women and children left England to settle permanently in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the Americas. When Parliament was re-established in 1640, migration dropped drastically.</span>

Which speaker would most likely be aligned with the anti federalists in the fight over the ratification of the us constitution?
Tanzania [10]
The correct answer is the speaker that would say <span>It's important that the Constitution include a bill of rights.

Anti-federalists were against a strong central federation because they feared that people might abuse it and become tyrannical if given power. This is why anti-federalists supported the inclusion of the bill of rights since they wanted the rights clearly enumerated instead of just implied since implications would be difficult to interpret.</span>
