<span><span>The Espionage Act of 1917
was created to forbid intrusion of military operations and military
recruitment. It was also intended to
stop insubordination in the military, and to check the assistance of enemies of
the United States during times of war. In 1919, the U.S. Supreme Court </span>solidly
declared through Schenck vs. United States that
the act did not disregard the freedom
of speech of those sentenced under its provisions. The case of Charles Schenck who was the
general secretary of the Executive Committee of the Socialist Party who
distributed leaflets exhorting men not to obey the draft because
they considered involuntary servitude.
Schenck and a fellow named were convicted because the court defended the
decision because the situation during times of war require stricter measures
compared to times of peace of the presence of dangerous forces.</span>

P.S- this is from what I read off the internet...
The main content of the passage is to present a possible situation in which a violent leader imposes the law on the country by force ("at the point of the sword"), which presumably leads to many deaths. This was what has happened, in Paine's interpretation under William the Conqueror in England. The intention is to show that this situation is undesired in America and to encourage Americans to fight against such a government.
I think its what we think effects what we do
hope this helps ☺
