The Sedition Act, enacted in 1798, made it a crime to publish false, scandalous, or malicious statements against the government or its officials. It was part of a series of laws known as the Alien and Sedition Acts, which aimed to suppress dissent and limit immigration. The Act faced significant opposition and was seen as an infringement on free speech, leading to its expiration in 1801 and subsequent repeal. Its controversial legacy contributed to the development of stronger protections for civil liberties in the United States.
