 | | Undaunted by the uproar caused by this act and continuing to campaign against the war's continuation, Liebknecht was shortly afterwards arrested and sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison for sedition. | | | In 1901 Liebknecht was elected to serve on Berlin's town council, a position he retained until 1913. | | | In April 1916 Liebknecht caused outrage by voting against war credits, an act which led to his expulsion - the first - from the Reichstag. |

| | In sentencing him, the Imperial Court declared that Liebknecht aimed at the abolition of the standing army, and that this army was an integral part of the nation's constitution. | | | To this plea, Liebknecht quickly retorted, "I take entire responsibility for every word~I have written." On the second day of the trial, the defendant declared in open court that he was convinced that a verdict of guilty had already been decided on. | | | The defendant was found guilty and sentenced to a year and a half of imprisonment. |
