In case you didn’t get that... • France and the United States had an argument and France thought America had been ganging up on them with Britain since Britain and France were not “the best of friends.” • Therefore, a naval war had almost been started due to the inflamed public opinion. • This later led to the Alien and Sedition Act.
The Alien and Sedition Acts (Supposed to be John Adams)
Incase you didn’t get that • The Alien and Sedition Acts were made to protect the United States from enemy aliens, and to prevent seditious attacks from weakening the government. • Four laws were constructed to this order: 1.)The Naturalization Act- extended the duration of residence required for aliens to become citizens of the United States from five years to fourteen years 2.)Alien Act-authorized the president to deport any resident alien considered dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States. 3.)Alien Enemies Act-authorized the president to apprehend and deport resident aliens if their home countries were at war with the United States of America. 4.)Sedition Act-made it a crime to publish false and scandalous writing against the government or its officials.
