Hi
Hope this helps you
The Alien and Sedition Acts were a series of four laws passed by the U.S. Congress in 1798 amid widespread fear that war with France was imminent. The four laws – which remain controversial to this day – restricted the activities of foreign residents in the country and limited freedom of speech and of the press.

Free government
Explanation:
- The Alien and Sedition Acts were a progression of four laws passed by the U.S. Congress in 1798 in the midst of far reaching dread that war with France was up and coming. The four laws – which stay disputable right up 'til today – confined the exercises of outside occupants in the nation and constrained ability to speak freely and of the press.
- A progression of laws referred to all in all as the Alien and Sedition Acts were passed by the Federalist Congress in 1798 and marked into law by President Adams. These laws included new powers to oust outsiders just as making it harder for new foreigners to cast a ballot.
- The Republican minority in Congress contended that dissidence laws abused the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which secures the right to speak freely of discourse and the press. The Federalist lion's share in Congress passed the Sedition Act and President Adams marked it into law on July 14, 1798.
