There are two main objectives to this study which are to analyze the purpose and the scope of the sedition law in both Malaysia and the United States and to critically examine the enforcement and application of the sedition law in Malaysia and the United States.

This research focuses on the sedition law in Malaysia and the United States also in brief to other country such as United Kingdom.
