| | Ethel and Julius Rosenberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Rosenbergs were convicted under the Espionage Act of 1917 of "conspiring to commit espionage in wartime" and sentenced to death, despite the fact that the US was not at war with the Soviet Union at the time their ring was supposedly active. | | | The accuracy of these charges remains controversial, though decades later, Soviet communications decrypted by the VENONA project became publicly available and appeared to indicate that at least Julius Rosenberg was actively involved in espionage (although they provided no new evidence that he performed the specific acts of espionage for which he was convicted). | | | As the notes typed by Ethel apparently contained little that was new to the Soviets, supporters felt that a capital charge of espionage was not only far too severe, but scarcely could be considered evidence of wrong-doing at all; but for the prosecution this was sufficient evidence to convict Ethel Rosenberg. |

| | Espionage, or spying, is illegal according to national laws; for example, see Espionage Act of 1917. | | | Because of the clandestine nature of espionage, no reliable count exists of how many intelligence officers—only a small percentage of whom are actually spies—there are in the world. | | | Espionage involves the recruiting of agents in foreign nations; efforts to encourage the disloyalty of those possessing significant information; and audio surveillance as well as the use of a full range of modern photographic, sensing, and detection devices, and other techniques of eliciting secret information. |

| | In April 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted under the Espionage Act of 1917 for conspiring to obtain and turn over to agents of the Soviet Union secret information as to the construction of the atomic bomb. | | | The Espionage Act of 1917,[24] upon which the indictment had rested, did not require jury approval of a death sentence. | | | Since the Atomic Energy Act thus cannot cover the offenses charged, the alleged inconsistency of its penalty provisions with those of the Espionage Act cannot be sustained. |

| | Protest, Rebellion, Commitment: Then and Now - Grover Furr |
| | In addition to the Espionage and Sedition Acts, between 1917 and 1920 many states passed laws against "criminal syndicalism," which, according to Eldridge T. Dowell's authoritative study, normally meant commission of any crime "as a means of accomplishing change in industrial ownership or effecting any political change", as in the California statue. | | | Virtually any expression of "disloyalty"--to be defined by local authorities at their whim--was assumed to be "illegal." Incidentally, the Espionage Act itself, as amended, remains in effect today. | | | The Espionage and Sedition Acts are paralleled by the Patriot Act. |
