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.
