The correct answer is It passed both the Espionage and Sedition Acts.

These laws, passed during World War I, tried to stop Americans from interfering with the governments effort to raise support for the war effort. For example, the Espionage Act (passed in 1917) made it illegal for any person in the US to interfer with the military draft. Anyone found in violation of this law could be arrested and serve jail time.

The Sedition Acts made it illegal to criticize the government during a time of war. This clearly violated the first amendment right of freedom of speech, which is what many citizens argued when it was passed by the federal government.

Answer:

O D. God would defend the American colonists' fight because their cause was upright.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine's "The Crisis Number One" is a political statement about his support for the American people's desire and the act of revolting against the British empire. In it, he argues for the need to get independence and that it is the right thing to do for the American people.

Moreover, Paine continues to present an accusatory claim towards Britain and its king, "I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he." To Paine, it seemed like God will not even want to side with the British because of their desire to be violent while the US "have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent."

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
