The Alien and Sedition Acts fueled Thomas Jefferson’s victory over John Adams in the 1800 presidential election.

The Alien and Sedition Acts were a series of acts - four laws - that were passed by the US Congress that restricted the activities of foreign residents in the US and limited freedom of speech and of the press. Those acts were passed because of the fear of the imminent war with France.

John Adams was the president and was from the Federalist Party - which supported a strong central government - because of that they passed those four laws that amongst other acts, increased residency requirements for US citizenships to 14 years from 5 years, permitted the government to arrest and deport all male citizens from an enemy nation, and aimed those who spoke out against Adams or the Federalist party.

Thomas Jefferson was from the Democratic-Republican Party and defended a stronger power to the states governments. The anger against the acts made Thomas Jefferson the winner of the election and was considered later one of the biggest mistakes of Adam’s presidency.

4. What target was not present at Pearl Harbor that proved important in the war in the Pacific? A. Supply ships B. Aircraft carr

worty [1.4K]

The correct answer is B) Aircraft carriers.

The target that was not present at Pearl Harbor that proved important in the war in the Pacific was aircraft carriers.

The Japanese Air Force could not completely destroy the US fleet. Their bombers missed important targets such as US aircraft carrier that was not on the island at that precise moment. The Japanese also missed oil tanks and ammunition warehouses.

The Japanese were able to surprise the US at Pearl Harbor because Japanese aircraft carriers had approached Hawaii unnoticed.

The Pearl Harbor attack happened on December 7, 1941, during World War II. The United States had maintained its distance from the European conflict due to the policy of neutrality installed by US President Woodrow Wilson. However, after the attack, President Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war and that is how the United States entered World War II.
