The Espionage Act was passed in 1917, right when the United States entered World War I. Considering that the US was about to enter a huge war, the federal government wanted to make sure that American citizens were loyal to the cause and would not disrupt or go against anything being said about the war effort. With the Espionage Act, the federal government made it illegal to say anything negative about the government, the war effort, or the US government in general.

Based on the summary provided, it is clear to see that citizens 1st amendment rights of freedom of speech were severely limited, as saying something bad about the government or being anti-war could land a person in jail. This also limits the freedom of the press (also part of the 1st amendment). Newspaper writers who disagreed with the war or spoke negatively about how the government was handling the war could be arrested for their writings.

Brrunno [24]

The early part of the Vedic period, was an age of economic self-sufficiency and consequently there was little scope for an exchange of commodities. All the rural centres were self-supporting. Every house-holder produced the necessaries of life—his farm producing his food-grains and other necessaries, the industry of the women of his household supplied him with his clothing, while the craftsmen attached to the village did the rest. Consequently, there was no inter-dependence between two neighbouring local areas. The surplus product was kept for future consumption. This state of full economic independence did not however last long. Society became complex.

A large section of the community gave up the simple agricultural life; the primitive arts and crafts drew away a large number; owing to these and various other causes, there arose a scope for interchange of commodities between different local areas.
