The Alien and Sedition Acts were not formally overturned; they expired over time. However, they were never enforced after Thomas Jefferson became president in 1801, and the backlash against them contributed to the downfall of the Federalist Party. Additionally, several court cases, such as the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, challenged the constitutionality of these laws, leading to a broader understanding of free speech rights in the United States.
