The Woodrow Wilson administration sought to keep down the protests against the war with legislation. The Espionage Act of 1917 was mainly to prevent spying, but there was a section that prevented anyone from encouraging someone to resist service in the armed forces.

∙ 9y agoThe U.S. government used the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 to suppress dissent against World War I. These Acts said that if a person interfered with recruitment, war promotion, or had no dislike for the enemy, that person could be put in jail. The first three amendments did not protect anyone from these Acts.
