President John Adams created the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798 primarily to address national security concerns amid fears of war with France and rising domestic dissent. The acts aimed to restrict the activities of foreign nationals and limit criticism of the government, particularly targeting the Democratic-Republican opposition. Adams believed these measures were necessary to maintain order and protect the newly formed nation from perceived threats. However, they were widely criticized for infringing on civil liberties and free speech.
