The following questions refer to the excerpt below.
"It is not alone members of Congress that the war party in this country has sought to intimidate. The mandate seems to have gone forth to the sovereign people of this country that they must be silent while those things are being done by their government which most vitally concern their well-being… It appears to be the purpose of those conducting this campaign to throw the country into a state of terror,to coerce public opinion,to stifle criticism,and suppress discussion of the great issues involved in this war. I think all men recognize that in time of war the citizen must surrender some rights for the common good which he is entitled to enjoy in time of peace. But…more than all,the citizen and his representative in Congress in time of war must maintain his right of free speech…to discuss in an orderly way frankly and publicly and without fear…every important phase of this war;its causes,the manner in which it should be conducted,and the terms upon which peace should be made."
Senator Robert M.LaFollette,speech before the Senate,"Free Speech in Wartime",October 6,1917
