Savis and Hayden are the names of two accused of participating in the Conspiracy Eight, which was a wave of protests that took place in Chicago and Illinois, which provoked situations of much violence and civil disobedience. According to Tom Hayden and Rennie Davis, the protests aimed to show dissatisfaction with the US participation in the Vietnam War in a way that would force authorities to abandon this conflict.
The US Government saw the protests as criminal acts due to the high level of violence and accused Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis and six other people of being responsible for the wave of violence that occurred in the protests, causing everyone to be arrested and tried. They were accused of being credited as the leaders of the protesting groups and of crossing state boundaries, leading to chaos and civil disobedience.
Cases like this, show that the American government must become more attentive to the desire of its people, especially in situations that impact the lives of citizens in an intense way, such as entering a war, for example.
