I️ believe it’s either B or C but I️ having a stronger feeling it’s B because it technically did violate basic rights through stereotyping and fear tactics kind of like with the Red Scare.
The correct answer is B) Many thought they violated the Constitution.
The Alien and Sedition Acts were controversial in that many thought they violated the Constitution.
In 1798, the United States Congress passed four acts in the times when the war against France was a matter of any moment. These acts were called the Allien and Sedition Acts and were very controversial. Specifically, the Naturalization Act, increased from five to 14 years, the requirement to get American naturalization. The Sedition Act punished the ones who spoke against President Adams. The Alien Enemies Act authorized the US government to deport the male citizens of an enemy nation in times of war.
The answer would be C. because the colonies were created for 1. the motherlands to get richer off the natural resources and 2 the places were getting crowded with debtors.
