The Sedition Act of 1898 made it illegal to publish anything that criticized the government, the flag, or the military during wartime. Publishing an antiwar editorial would have been seen as criticizing the government and therefore subject to punishment. Yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater is not protected under the First Amendment, but it is not related to the Sedition Act. Petitioning for women's suffrage is a form of free speech that would not have been punished under the Sedition Act. Defending the practice of slavery was not relevant to the Sedition Act of 1898.
