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.

Answer:

Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo was a peace treaty between Mexico and the United States, signed on February 2, 1848 in the Mexican village of Guadalupe Hidalgo near Mexico City following the results of the Mexican- American War of 1846-1848.

The agreement established that Mexico, which has been defeated by the American military, had to cede up to 1.36 million km² (about 55% of its territory), which included the modern territory of the states of California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, parts of Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma. In addition, Mexico refused all requirements for Texas, and the international border was established on the Rio Grande River. In compensation, the United States pledged to pay 15 million dollars for damages to Mexican territory during the war. The United States also took on $ 3.25 million of Mexican government debt to US citizens.
