Thomas Jefferson
Yes.
no reason
The Federalists in Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts to prevent immigrants trying to get America involved in a war with France. Aliens that were considered dangerous were to be deported. Kentucky and Virginia passed resolutions that the Alien and Sedition Acts were unConstitutional. President John Adams had a tool to get rid of those he did not agree with. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison disagreed and said it was against freedom of speech and press. When Jefferson won the election, the Alien and Sedition Acts expired.
The Alien and Sedition Acts worked to suppress voters who did not agree with the Federalists. They effectively led to the election of Thomas Jefferson.
He was against it. He believed it was unconstitutional and should be annulled immediately.
