Wilson's fourteen points were idealistic to say the least and none but one was included in the final accepted draft. They ranged from absolute freedom on the seas in war and peace, basically the opposite of what the Germans did with unrestricted warfare. To remove all economic barriers AKA tariffs, what country is going to give up its tariffs that protect its home businesses? All countries will lower their armies+navies+air force. Belgium be restored, evacuation of Russia. Readjusting Italy's boundaries. And most noticeably the League of Nations which would bring about these fourteen points to a downfall.

Schenck Vs United States. Schneck was accused of conspiracy in three different accounts, first by violating the Espionage Act by attempting to cause insubordination in the military and naval forces, obstructing the recruited and enlisted servicemen and finally while the US was at war with Germany he willfully conspired to printed circulate pamphlets to accepted men in the military. However his defense was the search warrant was invalid because it was issued against the headquarters and not his home. The courts accused him of truning men against he government with his pamphlets with 'conscripted wording' This is just a return to Adams Alien and Sedition acts to help control the populous so as to not make the government look bad, however this IS violating the Bill of Rights.

Keating-Owen Child labor act of 1916, after the census revealed that at least 2 million underage children worked in jobs a national movement to end child labor ensued. To limit work hours and more strictly enforce child labor laws this act was passed in a hopes of doing such things. One of the most effective pushes for this to happen came from Charles Dickens and his book Oliver Twist which was widely popular. However this act was later ruled unconstitutional because it overstepped the power of Congress in interstate commerce.

Woodrow Wilson's first inaugural address summed up many things that he thought should and had happened. The first paragraphs talk about how old habits that had been with America for years suddenly were seen in a new light, and not a very good one at that. People started to realize old habits were mistakes. He continues with how not everything is bad but the "gold has become corroded" how we have squandered nature and not put human lives above the worth of enterprise. We must correct the evil without disturbing the good. The government is about to protect the people men, women and children. Individual rights must stand above all in the fight for justice and not be lost in the waves of ignorance. He finishes by exclaiming how he will do everything in his power to grant this new passion of man, the one of humanity.

This act followed the Sherman Antitrust act in order to leash and stop big business from disrupting commerce. It set down a list of rules to help limit cooperate power such as stopping price discrimination. A big one was the acceptance, or lack there of, of commissions. So creating deals with companies and then offering discounts was now officially against the law. It continues with how the company cannot give away goods to one customer unless it is willing to do so to all its customers. The last big one is that no persons or person can get the stock of multiple companies because this tends to create monopolies. Also these rules are not applicable to labor unions.
