For much of World War 1 Germany was in effect a military dictatorship run by Hindenburg and Ludendorff.
The head of the country was Kaiser Wilhelm II. The man in charge of government was Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg.
They passed the Espionage Act, which was basically a violation of civil rights because it came into play with freedom of speech.
