Why did the Alien and Sedition Acts take place?

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.

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.
