The Alien and Sedition Acts, enacted in 1798, faced significant opposition and criticism for infringing on civil liberties, particularly freedom of speech and press. By 1801, with the election of Thomas Jefferson, the Democratic-Republicans, who opposed the acts, gained power and allowed them to expire or be repealed. The Sedition Act was allowed to lapse in 1801, while the Alien Acts were never fully enforced and were effectively rendered obsolete. Ultimately, these acts became a cautionary example of government overreach in times of political tension.
