The Alien and Sedition acts were passed because these acts targeted aliens- immigrants who were not yet citizens. One act increased the waiting period to become a legal US citizen from 5 to 14 years. Other acts gave the president the power to arrest disloyal aliens or order them out of the country during wartime. A fourth acts outlawed sedition, saying or writing anything false or harmful about the government. With these acts, the federalist clamped down on freedom of speech and the press.
