Americans object to the Alien and Sedition Acts as "The acts violated a basic civil right that was guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution".

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The government had to make absolutely sure that its activities were not denounced and publicly condemned as expected from a time of war, for this reason the 1918 Sedition Act was established. This act stretched sanctions for those who hinder the sale of war bonds by the government, or for saying, writing, or printing anything "unfair, profane, scurrilous, or abusive" regarding the American form of government, the Constitution, or the army and navy.

When predicted, this Act is perceived by many Americans to be a violation of civil rights because it breached freedom of speech and freedom of the press, now that the government can judge something. As the first right of amendment is freedom of the press, and speech these acts (Specifically the Sedition Act) have limited it.

A criminological theory attempt to explain

Lilit [14]

Why do people commit crimes? From misdemeanors to violent felonies, some individuals step in to the criminal justice system and learn their lesson to never commit a crime again. Others unfortunately become repeat offenders with a never ending rap sheet. Environment obviously plays a huge role but it is only one of many factors. The study of crime and why some people can’t get away from it while others never have even a speeding ticket has been dissected for decades.
