The Federalists in Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts to prevent immigrants trying to get America involved in a war with France. Aliens that were considered dangerous were to be deported. Kentucky and Virginia passed resolutions that the Alien and Sedition Acts were unConstitutional. President John Adams had a tool to get rid of those he did not agree with. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison disagreed and said it was against freedom of speech and press. When Jefferson won the election, the Alien and Sedition Acts expired.
