Best Answer

Many historians believe that US President John Adams was not reelected for two main reasons. Adams made the mistake of supporting the Alien and Sedition Acts. The Alien Act concerned immigrants and citizenship. And, the Sedition Act was passed to allow for the prosecution of persons publishing anti-American statements. There was much controversy over these issues, and it led to a split within the Federalist Party.
