History

In 1798 the United States stood on the brink of war with France. The Federalists believed that Democratic-Republican criticism of Federalist policies was disloyal and feared that aliens living in the United States would sympathize with the French during a war. As a result, a Federalist-controlled Congress passed four laws, known collectively as the Alien and Sedition Acts. These laws raised the residency requirements for citizenship from 5 to 14 years, authorized the President to deport aliens, and permitted their arrest, imprisonment, and deportation during wartime. The Sedition Act made it a crime for American citizens to "print, utter, or publish . . . any false, scandalous, and malicious writing" about the Government.


The laws were directed against Democratic-Republicans, the party typically favored by new citizens, and the only journalists prosecuted under the Sedition Act were editors of Democratic-Republican newspapers. Sedition Act trials, along with the Senate’s use of its contempt powers to suppress dissent, set off a firestorm of criticism against the Federalists and contributed to their defeat in the election of 1800, after which the acts were repealed or allowed to expire. The controversies surrounding them, however, provided for some of the first testings of the limits of freedom of speech and press.

Issue of immigration in the 1840 and 1850
trasher [3.6K]

Hi there!

This is a summary i prepared for you, i Hope it works well. let me know if you want more information. During that time there was a los of immigration, we can say many things about it. but here goes a short text for you to understand.

In a general way, it can be stated that urban growth has been produced by immigration and has only partly been generated internally by the natural increase of its population.

Immigrants found new employment opportunities in the city. And they also integrated rapidly from a demographic point of view.

Migration was undoubtedly the key factor in regulating urban populations in pre-industrial society. The city needed immigration to keep its population stable and even more to increase it. And on many occasions such immigration was truly essential.

Between 1892 and 1954, 12 million immigrants entered the United States!!! only through the famous Ellis Island (where the Statue of Liberty is located) in New York Bay. There, President Benjamin Harrison established the <u>first federal immigration office</u>. In November 1954, Ellis Island was closed down as a receiving center for immigrants.

gladu [14]

Answer:

The Qin Dynasty was located in modern day China.

Explanation:

The Qin Dynasty was a dynasty of ancient China that ruled China from 221 BC to 20 BC. The Qin dynasty originated from Shaanxi province and its name is also a modified form of the same province. When Qin began to occupy China, the Zhou dynasty had only nominal control in the country and the period of warring states was going on. Qin ended the weak Zhou dynasty and then unified China by destroying the six remaining kingdoms. Despite being powerful, the Qin dynasty remained in power for a very short period and then the rise of the Han dynasty in China took place.
