Why and how government limited civil liberties in 1798?

Civil liberties protect us from government power. They are rooted in the Bill of Rights, which limits the powers of the federal government. The government cannot take away the freedoms outlined in the Bill of Rights, and any action that encroaches on these liberties is illegal.

In 1798, less than a decade after the adoption of the Bill of Rights, the United States found itself embroiled in a European war that then raged between France and England. A bitter political debate divided the Federalists, who favored the English, and the Republicans, who favored the French. The Federalists were then in power, and the administration of President John Adams initiated a series of defense measures that brought the United States into a state of undeclared war with France.

The Republicans fiercely opposed these measures, leading the Federalists to accuse them of disloyalty.  President Adams, for example, declared that the Republicans “would sink the glory of our country and prostrate her liberties at the feet of France.”  Against this backdrop, the Federalists enacted the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. The Alien Act empowered the president to deport any noncitizen he judged to be dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States. The act accorded the noncitizen no right to a hearing, no right to present evidence and no right to judicial review.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Typically, the British Government will set up the big picture regarding on which direction India should turn into.

Explain whether or not you believe the Spanish caste system was fair. Include details.​
nordsb [41]
I don’t believe that the Spanish caste system was fair because they separated the population into the categories that they believed were fit. So the lowest of them were Africans. Europeans and Peninsulares were put onto a pedestal and made to be seen as the more higher-ups. The way they categorized them by their intelligence and color of their skin was harsh. The whole system was rigged to benefit the Europeans and not the Natives and Africans which is why I see it as unfair and not right.

Explain why gas prices Skyrocketed during Nixon’s presidency
andre [41]

In October 1973, it broke out the Fourth Arab-Israeli War, best known as the "Yom Kippur War" because the Arab countries enemy of Israel took advantage of the Yom Kippur ("Day of Expiation") holiday to launch a triple offensive against Israel. When the war seemed to go well for the Arabs because of the destruction of large numbers or Israeli warplanes, the U.S. resupplied the Israelis and made their losses good turning the outcome of the war to their favor.

The U.S. support of the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War infuriated the Arab oil producing countries who announced an oil embargo against the U.S. The price of crude oil went from 3 dollars per barrel to 12 dollars by the beginning of 1974. Since U.S. people were traditionally used to large cars consuming a lot of gas, since gas had always been cheap, a shortage of gas across the country quickly set in, An unexpected consequence of this gas shortage in the U.S., fuel-efficient cars of Japanese make began to become popular in the U.S., and it also forced the U.S. car industry to design smaller cars and fuel-efficient engines to compete with the Japanese car industry.
