During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, particularly around the Quasi-War with France (1798-1800), the U.S. Congress passed several significant laws. The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 were notable, allowing the president to deport foreigners deemed dangerous and making it a crime to criticize the government, which was largely aimed at French immigrants and their supporters. These laws were controversial and sparked significant debate about civil liberties and federal power.
