The Alien Act prevented immigrants who aren't citizens (A.k.a Aliens) into the United States.
1798
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.
The "Alien and Sedition Acts" are a group of four acts: The Naturalization Act, The Alien Act, The Alien Enemies Act, and The Sedition Act. The Naturalization Act made all immigrants have to stay in the United States for 14 years to become citizens, instead of the previous 5. The Alien Act allowed the deportation of certain immigrants who were deemed dangerous. The Alien Enemies Act allowed the deportation of citizens if the US was at war with their mother country. The sedition act broke the freedom of speech by illegalizing "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" about the government of of officials.
