Answer:

Americans criticized the sedition act because it prohibited any public opposition to the government. It permitted the government to have control over the actions of individuals. So if you were to write against the government in a way that they did not like you could face harsh fines or even imprisonment. This goes against the first amendment and many Americans criticized the law severely. It didn't help the law that the first protests against the British were malicious writing that they are now forbidding just like the British did before the war for independence.

How will the war in ukraine affect the united states.

klio [65]

As this is up to interpretation as the war hasn't progressed far enough to provide a clear answer, I am going to give the best / worst case scenario.

Best case scenario, Putin realizes that what he is doing is irrational and calls off the invasion, and Russia deals with the economic consequences.

Worst case scenario, Putin keeps pushing the war until foreign countries get involved, possibly triggering Article 5 of NATO, causing WWIII and most likely ending in nuclear war.

What I believe / hope is going to happen is that is becomes more of a cold war where there is no direct conflict outside of Ukraine and Russia / Belarus until Russia gives up.
