John Adams did not pass any laws specifically targeting the Democratic-Republican Party. However, during his presidency, he signed the Alien and Sedition Acts into law in 1798. These acts allowed for the deportation of immigrants and made it a crime to publish "false, scandalous, and malicious" writings against the government. While aimed at preventing political dissent and criticism, these acts largely targeted Democratic-Republican critics, leading to criticisms of Adams' administration for suppressing free speech.
