Answer:

The Alien and Sedition Acts were passed in 1798 under the presidentship of John Adams. This act enabled the president to deport any alien  considered as dangerous, it also made it a crime to publish malicious content and extended the number of years of residence for becoming the citizen of USA. Thomas Jefferson opposed these laws and considered that US government had become a tyranny that desired to govern with an iron rod. According to him the citizens should always be suspicious of the government and its actions. <em><u>Thomas Jefferson and James Madison drafted the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions against these acts.</u></em>

<span>The Alien and Sedition Acts were passed by Congress in 1798 in preparation for an anticipated war with France. The Naturalization Act increased the Residency requirement for American citizenship from five to fourteen years, required aliens to declare their intent to acquire citizenship five years before it could be granted, and rendered people from enemy nations ineligible for naturalization. The subsequent Sedition Act banned the publishing of scandalous or malicious writings against the government. The acts were designed by Federalists to limit the power of the opposition Republican Party, but enforcement ended after Thomas Jefferson was elected president in 1800. Have A good Day. </span>
