Fears of an imminent French invasion led the Adams administration to begin war preparations and pass a new land tax to pay for them. With fears of enemy spies infiltrating American society, the Federalist majority in Congress passed four new laws in June and July 1798, collectively known as the Alien and Sedition Acts.
I believe it is because they did ban the fact that confederates could not be in office or house of reps.
