The sedition act and espionage act of 1918 revealed the United states of America's willingness to compromise the right to free speech

Explanation:

The sedition act of 1918 disallowed the use of disloyal or abusive language towards the United States government, the flag, or its armed forces in a way that caused other countries to view the American government with contempt. Those found guilty of breaching the act were sentenced to about 5 to 20 years imprisonment.

Mails also that were in breach of this act were forbidden from being delivered by the postal service at that time.
