During World War I, various rights were limited primarily in the name of national security and wartime necessity. Governments enacted measures such as the Espionage Act and Sedition Act in the United States, which curtailed freedom of speech and press by criminalizing dissent against the war effort. Civil liberties were also restricted through censorship of media and the suppression of anti-war movements, as authorities aimed to maintain public support for the war and prevent unrest. Additionally, many countries implemented conscription, limiting individual rights regarding personal autonomy and freedom of movement.
