Correct answer choice is :


<h2>D) To hold any mail that violated the acts</h2><h2 /><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3 />

The idea of the Espionage Act was to prevent interruption with military operations, to forbid support of U.S. enemies during wartime or to encourage rebellion in the military. The Espionage Act gave US mail officials the power to forbid the mailing of newspapers and magazines. The law also frightened individuals condemned of preventing the draft with $10,000 fines and 20 years in jail. The U.S. Congress revised the Espionage law with the Sedition Act of 1918. Its objective was to make it illegal to write or speak anything significant of American engagement in the war. The Sedition Act of 1918 made it a federal crime to use unfaithful, temporal, obscene, or abusive language about the Constitution, the government, the American outfit, or the US flag.

The authority that was given to the postmaster general under the Espionage and Sedition Acts was to hold any mail that violated the acts.

<u>Further Explanation:- </u>

The Espionage act which was introduced in1917 is a federal law which was  in United States. This act was passed just shortly after some time when the United States became involved in the world war-1. This act has been amended many times in past years. This act was made to stop the interference in regards to military operations or recruitment.  

This was done in order to prevent problems in military and to stop the support of enemies of United States during the time of war. During the period of 1919, The Supreme court of United States ruled unanimously through the case of Schenckvs United States because the act did not violated the freedom of speech and against those people who are convicted under those provisions.  

This act was based on defense secrets act of 1911. The authority that was given to the postmaster general under the Espionage and Sedition Acts was to hold any mail that violated the acts.

What is inferred from these lines describing the pardoner in Chaucer’s prologue to the Canterbury tales he had a fine
blagie [28]

I believe that the lines are:  

He had a fine veronica sewed to cap. His wallet lay before him in his lap, Stuffed full of pardons brought from Rome all hot.

So, from these lines that describe the pardoner in Chaucer's prologue to The Canterbury Tales, it can be inferred that <u>he was an unethical man</u><u> </u>because during this time, one could put on sale “pardons” and the pardoner made his money from selling “pardons”.

why didn't the USSR respond with force to the East German and Polish revolts, as they had back in the 50s and 60s? ​
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Eric Hobsbawm, the Marxist British historian, wrote a book called The Short Twentieth Century. The 20th Century had been shorter than other centuries because it had begun in 1914 with the outbreak of the First World War and terminated of course early in November 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall. The problem however, and of course we historians we like problems, is that everybody knew what we had left behind with the fall of the wall, but nobody knew what we were heading towards. As Douglas Hurd, the British Foreign Secretary at the time, put it, “this was a system [the Cold War], this was a system under which we had lived quite happily for 40 years.” Or as Adam Michnik, again my Polish solidarity intellectual, put it “The worst thing about communism is what comes afterwards.” While our populations were in jubilation in front of the television screens or on the streets of Berlin, governments were, it has to be said, seriously worried about the implications of this unforeseen, uncontrolled and uncontrollable collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the communist system. Tom Wolf, the American author, at the time had a bestseller called the Bonfire of the Vanities and a British MP that I knew at the time famously rephrased that as the ‘bonfire of the certainties.’ All of the reference points with which we’d lived for half a century and which had organized our diplomacy, our military strategy, our ideology, were like as many props that were suddenly pulled from us.
