Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798 to strengthen national security and suppress dissent, particularly against the growing influence of the Democratic-Republican Party, which they viewed as a threat. These acts allowed the government to imprison or deport non-citizens deemed dangerous and to prosecute individuals for making false statements against the government. In response, Republicans condemned the acts as a violation of free speech and civil liberties, arguing they were politically motivated efforts to silence opposition. They also asserted that the acts could be challenged through state resolutions, leading to the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions advocating for states' rights against federal overreach.

Their successful actions resulted in the creation of a new American state, West Virginia.
