Detailed explanation-1: -The focus of the CLB was on freedom of speech, primarily anti-war speech, and on supporting conscientious objectors who did not want to serve in World War I. Three United States Supreme Court decisions in 1919 each upheld convictions under laws against certain anti-war speech.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ACLU was founded to ensure the promise of the Bill of Rights and to expand its reach to people historically denied its protections. In our first year, we fought the harassment and deportation of immigrants whose activism put them at odds with the authorities.
Detailed explanation-3: -These liberties allow us to speak out freely against our government, express our opinions, organize protests and practice or not practice religion in whatever way we choose. It was important to the early settlers that we have these liberties in order to be protected from unnecessary government intrusion.
Detailed explanation-4: -Freedom of speech protects your right to say things that are disagreeable. It gives you-and everyone else-the right to criticize government policies and actions.
