During World War I, the U.S. government expanded its power significantly to mobilize for the war effort. The establishment of agencies like the War Industries Board and the Food Administration centralized control over production and resource allocation. Additionally, the government implemented the Espionage Act and the Sedition Act, which restricted civil liberties in the name of national security. This period marked a shift toward a more interventionist and regulatory state, setting precedents for future government involvement in the economy and society.
