The Sedition Act, passed in 1798, was part of a series of measures known as the Alien and Sedition Acts. It aimed to suppress dissent against the federal government, particularly targeting critics of President John Adams and the Federalist Party during a period of heightened political tension and fears of foreign influence. The Act made it a crime to publish false, scandalous, or malicious writings against the government, reflecting the government's desire to maintain stability and control amid growing partisan divisions. However, it faced significant opposition and was seen as a violation of the First Amendment rights to free speech and press.
