If the US prioritized the profession of loyalty to the current government more highly than it prizes First Amendment rights of free speech, something like the Sedition Act might be presented to the American people as an act of patriotism.
The Sedition Act of 1918 was passed to squelch voices in the US that was perceived as interfering in any way with the nation's war effort as a participant in World War I. Legal scholars now see that act as contradicting the First Amendment. Indeed, the Sedition Act was repealed in 1921, only a few years after its passage.
But there have been hints in recent years, in regard to what is called "the war on terror," that Americans will tolerate restriction of some civil liberties if they think their security is at stake. The USA PATRIOT Act, passed in 2001 (after the 9-11 attacks), included measures that allowed the government much leeway in regard to surveillance of electronic communications. The American Civil Liberties Union continues to challenge these sorts of aspects of the PATRIOT Act.

Answer:
1) For redemption 2) Jesus of Nazareth
Explanation:
1) Abram [“exalted father”] was the original name of Abraham [“father of a multitude”]. Abraham’s call was very special. God called him out of a rebellious world to be a conduit for salvation. He is a pivotal character in redemptive history. It is a story of how God reveals Himself to a man, calls and chooses him for a daunting mission, and then tests him to see how he will respond – to see if he has the capacity to carry out the mission successfully.
2) According to Matthew 1:1–17 begins the Gospel, "A record of the origin of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac…" and continues on until "…and Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ."
