The sedition act of 1918
Virty [35]

The Sedition Act of 1918 (Pub.L. 65–150, 40 Stat. 553, enacted May 16, 1918) was an Act of the United States Congress that extended the Espionage Act of 1917 to cover a broader range of offenses, notably speech and the expression of opinion that cast the government or the war effort in a negative light or interfered with the sale of government bonds.

It forbade the use of "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the United States government, its flag, or its armed forces or that caused others to view the American government or its institutions with contempt. Those convicted under the act generally received sentences of imprisonment for five to 20 years. The act also allowed the Postmaster General to refuse to deliver mail that met those same standards for punishable speech or opinion. It applied only to times "when the United States is in war." The U.S. was in a declared state of war at the time of passage, the First World War. The law was repealed on December 13, 1920.

Though the legislation enacted in 1918 is commonly called the Sedition Act, it was actually a set of amendments to the Espionage Act. Therefore, many studies of the Espionage Act and the Sedition Act find it difficult to report on the two "acts" separately. For example, one historian reports that "some fifteen hundred prosecutions were carried out under the Espionage and Sedition Acts, resulting in more than a thousand convictions."Court decisions do not use the shorthand term Sedition Act, but the correct legal term for the law, the Espionage Act, whether as originally enacted or as amended in 1918.

Why did the NAACP provide legal counsel for African Americans?
alexdok [17]
The NAACP helped to provide legal counsel for African Americans and other legal services to African Americans because African Americans throughout American history have actively been denied proper legal services and access to lawyers. The NAACP seeks to fill this gap and support justice for African Americans.

According to the cartoon what led to the growth of organized crime during prohibition
balandron [24]
I am almost positive that the increase of organized crime was due to the lack of legal alcohol that many people would drink on a daily basis, causing mafia groups and gang leaders such as Al Capone to make a huge monopoly off of an illegal trade selling and smuggling alcohol. Please list the cartoon next time-I am unable to see it-I am giving you an answer based off of what I know.
