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>

briefly describe one major difference between beard’s and berkin’s historical interpretations of the drafting of the united stat
Daniel [21]

One of the main differences of interpretation between Charles Beard and Carol Berkin is their point of view on the Constitution and the founding fathers.

Charles Beard is the author of An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States. In this work published in 1913, the author argued that the Constitution of the United States was formulated to serve the interests of wealthy members of the upper class of society.

One of his most controversial statements is his claim about the Founding Fathers, whom he points out as belonging to the upper-class group and who wrote the Constitution to defend their rights and interests.

On the other hand, Carol Berkin is the author of the book The Bill of Rights: The Fight to Secure America's Liberties, published in 2015. In this book, she exposes her interpretation of the process of creation of the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of Rights.

Her interpretation of these historical events is framed in a vision of the founding fathers as mere mortals who ignored the possibility that the new government they were building would last for many years.

Based on the above, it can be inferred that Carol Berkin and Charles Beard have different views of the Constitution and the founding fathers such as:

  • Charles considers that they wrote the constitution for their convenience.
  • Carol describes them as ordinary people who wanted to change their situation and establish a government for all.

What was a major difference between the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor?
iragen [17]
<span>As in any developing country, labor and employing companies always had their differences. The Knights of Labor group was the first well recognized labor union and it was all inclusive, meaning almost anybody (women, blacks and but not Chinese) was welcomed. I think the Chinese were admitted at a later date. After the American Federation of Labor (AFL) was formed, the Knights of Labor fell out of favor and disappeared.
The major difference was the Knights of Labor formed the foundation upon which the AFL was born. Their demise was a natural evolution of the labor movement in this country. The Knights of Labor lacked good management and their inability to carry out successful strikes for their members caused their ranks to be recruited by the AFL. </span>
