The Alien and Sedition Acts were comprised of 4 laws.

The Naturalization Act extended required residence from five to fourteen years before an alien could become a citizen

The Alien Friends Act allowed the president to deport any alien who seemed dangerous to "peace and safety".

The Alien Enemies Act allowed the deportation of any alien from a country at war with the United States

The Sedition Act made it a crime to make statements intended to defame or bring the president, Congress, or government into contempt or disrepute. Those convicted could be fined up to $2,000 and jailed for two years.

The Alien act changed the time for immigrants to become a citizen from 5 to 14 years.

When the Sedition act allowed immigrants to be arrested or even deported it they were suspected to be causing trouble.

Why did the Alien and Sedition Acts take place?

The Alien and Sedition acts were passed because these acts targeted aliens- immigrants who were not yet citizens. One act increased the waiting period to become a legal US citizen from 5 to 14 years. Other acts gave the president the power to arrest disloyal aliens or order them out of the country during wartime. A fourth acts outlawed sedition, saying or writing anything false or harmful about the government. With these acts, the federalist clamped down on freedom of speech and the press.
