How do you think attorney general palmer might have responded in 1919 if someone had pointed out that the first amendment and the second amendment and the sedition act seemed to be in conflict?

Attorney General Palmer probably would have responded by discussing how these sedition acts are needed for national security. The sedition acts essentially punished individuals for speaking negatively against government actions during a time of war. Palmer probably felt this was necessary, as any efforts to ruin the war effort could result in the US military not succeeding.

Along with this, Palmer might have also discussed how the government was trying to protect American citizens in the best way that they could.

And this too use this if needed
