Answer:

It was amended by punishing those who disobeyed it

Step-by-step explanation:

The act made it a federal offense to use "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the Constitution, the government, the American uniform, or the flag. The government prosecuted over 2,100 people under these acts.
