The text below was written in 1918: "i listened to all that was said in this court in support and justification of this prosecution, but my mind remains unchanged. i look upon the espionage law as a despotic enactment in flagrant conflict with democratic principles and with the spirit of free institutions… your honor, i have stated in this court that i am opposed to the social system in which we live; that i believe in a fundamental change—but if possible by peaceable and orderly means…" why does eugene debs reject the prosecution's arguments in support of the espionage act?

The correct answer is B) he believes that the Espionage Act is contradictory to democratic principles and freedom.

Eugene Debs rejected the prosecution's arguments in support of the Espionage Act because he believed that the Espionage Act is contradictory to democratic principles and freedom.

We are talking about the Supreme Court case Debs v. the United States that was decided on March 10, 1919.

Civil Rights leader Eugen Debs had been indicted because he delivered a speech that invited American citizens to block the military recruitment for World War 1. He was accused of violating the Espionage Act of 1917. He appealed he had the right to express his feelings based on the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court confirmed the accusation.

The other options of the question were A) he believes that his actions were justified based on his kinship with all living beings. C) he stands in opposition to the current political system. D) he denies being in violation of the Espionage Act.

take five to 10 minutes to warm up and cool down properly.

plan to start slowly and boost your activity level gradually unless you are already exercising frequently and vigorously.

be aware that training too hard or too often can cause overuse injuries like stress fractures, stiff or sore joints and muscles, and inflamed tendons and ligaments. sports prompting repetitive wear and tear on certain parts of your body — such as swimming (shoulders), jogging (knees, ankles, and feet), tennis (elbows) — are often overuse culprits, too. a mix of different kinds of activities and sufficient rest is safer.

listen to your body. hold off on exercise when you're sick or feeling very fatigued. cut back if you cannot finish an exercise session, feel faint after exercise or fatigued during the day, or suffer persistent aches and pains in joints after exercising.

if you stop exercising for a while, drop back to a lower level of exercise initially. if you're doing strength training, for example, lift lighter weights or do fewer reps or sets.

for most people, simply drinking plenty of water is sufficient. but if you're working out especially hard or doing a marathon or triathlon, choose drinks that replace fluids plus essential electrolytes.

choose clothes and shoes designed for your type of exercise. replace shoes every six months as cushioning wears out.

for strength training, good form is essential. initially use no weight, or very light weights, when learning the exercises. never sacrifice good form by hurrying to finish reps or sets, or struggling to lift heavier weights.

exercising vigorously in hot, humid conditions can lead to serious overheating and dehydration. slow your pace when the temperature rises above 70°f. on days when the thermometer is expected to reach 80°f, exercise during cooler morning or evening hours or at an air-conditioned gym. watch for signs of overheating, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, faintness, cramps, or palpitations.

dress properly for cold-weather workouts to avoid hypothermia. depending on the temperature, wear layers you can peel off as you warm up. don't forget gloves.
