Question

question 1-7
the excerpt below is from the espionage act of 1917
\whoever, when the united states is at war, shall willfully make or convey false reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces... shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than twenty years, or both.\
how did the court case schenck v. u.s. reinforce the espionage act?
○ it demonstrated that civil liberties could be limited during wartime
○ it illustrated that fines given to suspected spies were unconstitutional
○ it confirmed that civil rights were protected, especially during times of war
○ it showed that freedom of the press was protected by government propaganda

Explanation:

El caso Schenck v. U.S. trató sobre la limitación de las libertades civiles (como la libertad de expresión) durante el tiempo de guerra, al sostener que el gobierno podía restringir dichas libertades si presentaba un "peril claro y presente". La opción que dice "It demonstrated that civil liberties could be limited during wartime" (Demostró que las libertades civiles podían ser limitadas durante el tiempo de guerra) coincide con el resultado de este caso. Las otras opciones son incorrectas: no trató sobre multas a espías (segunda opción), no confirmó que las libertades civiles estuvieran protegidas durante la guerra (tercera) ni que la libertad de prensa estuviera protegida por propaganda gubernamental (cuarta).

Answer:

A. It demonstrated that civil liberties could be limited during wartime
