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>

what was the name given to the widespread fear of suspected communist and radicals in the untied states after ww1
babymother [125]
The ''Red Scare'', given because of the rounding and deportment of several hundred immigrants of radical political views by the federal government from 1919- 1920. The ''scare'' was caused by fears of subversion from communists in the United States after the Russian Revolution. Hopefully this  was helpful! have  good day!

In 3-5 sentences, describe the developments that occurred in georgia after it became a royal colony.

Perhaps no controversy has generated as much attention as that surrounding the imposition of the death penalty. Since the adoption of the Bill of Rights, our Constitution has contained the eighth amendment1 proscription against those punishments which are "cruel and unusual." Notwithstanding this principle the implementation of capital punishment has been traditionally accepted as a legitimate function of our system of criminal justice. In order to understand the problem of capital punishment, the social and political background of the movement against capital punishment, both in the United States2 and abroad, must be examined. Accordingly, before undertaking an analysis of Furman v. Georgia,5 this Comment will undertake a detailed and exhaustive examination of capital punishment as it developed in England and the United States. Such an examination will set the foundation for a critical evaluation of the arguments for and against capital punishment as advanced by the Furman Court. The issue of capital punishment cannot be discussed in a legal vacuum, but must be viewed from a moral, social, political, and philosophical, as well as legal, perspective. With this structural background, this Comment will examine the road to Furman - the legislative history and case law which comprises the backbone of the eighth amendment. It is only by a combination of the social and political trends and the legal precedents that Furman can be fully appreciated
