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.

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.

What two presidents were elected by the house of reps?
Jefferson and John Q. Adams were elected by the House. The situation was different in the two cases. In the first case, Jefferson and Aaron Burr were running mates and both received the same number of electoral votes. At that time there was no separate election for the VP; the presidential candidate with the second most votes became VP. The Constitution was soon amended to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. In the Adams case, the votes were split among four candidates and no one received the majority needed for election.
