Because George Wasshington did not go to war
The Sedition Act of 1798 was viewed as constitutional at the time because it was within the scope of Congress's power to pass legislation relating to national security. It aimed to protect the government from potential threats during a time of tension with France. However, the act was controversial and eventually expired, and its constitutionality could be debated in light of the First Amendment's protections for freedom of speech and the press.

The Supreme Court did not issue a ruling specifically regarding the Sedition Act. However, in the case of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964), the Court expanded First Amendment protections for free speech, which indirectly limited the Sedition Act's application. The Sedition Act was repealed in 1921.

The Republicans supported the Alien Act and they opposed the Sedition Act. The Federalist liked the Sedition Act because it was supposed to destroy the Republicans.
