The Alien and Sedition Acts (1798) were four laws passed by Federalists that restricted the activities of foreign residents in the country, allowed the government to deport foreigners seen as "dangerous", made it difficult for immigrants to vote, requiring them to reside for 14 years in the U.S. to become eligible to vote, and it prohibited public opposition to the government.
1. What led to the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts?
The Acts were passed after the diplomatic incident called "XYZ Affair" that almost involved the United States and France in war. Facing French foreign threat, the Federalist President Adams created the acts as a way to prevent subversion in the United States against governmental measures.
2. What made them so controversial?
The Acts, especially the Sedition Act, were so controversial because it violated people's rights of freedom of speech and of the press protected under the First Amendment. Under the acts, anyone who wrote, printed, uttered or published any writing seen as false, scandalous and malicious against the government could be imprisoned or would have to pay fines.
OK so I believe the right to have freedom of religion is the most important because it keeps everyone's beliefs intact even though they may be of a different religion you can still practice it. Freedom of religion keeps you spiritually sound by being able to practice what you believe in where ever and when ever you want. This right is protected by not being able to prohibit the practice of any religion but I believe it is limited because of not the government that created freedom of religion but the people of the United states that shun religions other than Christianity and Catholicism like lets say that someone was to pray to the 5 pillars they are usually criticized for believing in something different and are treated differently like an outsider or sometimes worse.
If im not mistaken I think it is Mount Denali in Alaska,and Death Valley in California. Hope this helps.
