The Espionage Act was a federal law passed on June 1917 a little after the United States entered World War I. The reason for this law was to prohibit any attempt to interfere with military operations, to support U.S. enemies during wartiem, to promote insubordination in the military, or to interfere with military recruitment. Supreme Court made the ruling that the law didnt take away freedom of speech of convicts under provision in 1919 during the court case Schenck vs. United States.
