Thomas Jefferson
The Alien and Sedition Acts worked to suppress voters who did not agree with the Federalists. They effectively led to the election of Thomas Jefferson.
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. Kentucky and Virginia passed resolutions that the Alien and Sedition Acts were unConstitutional. President John Adams had a tool to get rid of those he did not agree with. 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.

No
Thomas Jefferson
Yes.
The Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 used the theory of nullification to fight against the Alien and Sedition Acts. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, the resolutions argued that states had the right to declare federal laws unconstitutional and nullify them within their borders. This theory was based on the idea of states' rights and was seen as a way to protect individual liberties from federal overreach.
