Answer:

A. discourage those who wanted to speak out against the war

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sedition Act of 1918 stated that it was a crime to "willfully utter, print, write, or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language about the form of the Government of the United States" or to "willfully urge, incite, or advocate any curtailment of the production". This had the firm intention to discourage or silence the antiwar opinions all over the US
