Question

Some people though that the Sedition Act went against the first amendment (but,because,so)

Answer 1

In the criminal law of most countries there is the so-called crime of sedition. It consists of the act of rebellion by which a group of individuals disobeys the established legal framework. In other words, it is a crime against state power and constitutional order. In this sense, there are two types of very similar crimes, that of rebellion and that of sedition.

It basically consists of an act of insubordination by a collective. Most jurists believe that this crime occurs against some state power and not against the whole state. For this reason, sedition is considered a lighter rebellion.

As a general rule, sedition is carried out violently in order that some state power or institution does not perform its ordinary functions. The criminal act of sedition usually involves a plurality of individuals, usually military and civilian. Those who commit this type of act are called seditious and the purpose of their hostile behavior is to prevent compliance with certain laws. Seditious acts are generally related to electoral processes, they pose obstacles and disturb the development of an electoral day.

It is definitely a criminal action that prevents the established legal authority from exercising its functions normally.
