<span>A tsar was removed from the people and was rarely seen.
The tsar of the early 1900s was an absolute monarch with much control and answered little to the people. Though there were attempts at reform and the creation of a representative body called the Duma, the Tsar, especially Nicholas II, was known to shut it down or event attempted to remove it. Nicholas II would be the last tsar of Russia being forced to abdicate, step down, his throne in 1917. </span>
The Alien and Sedition Acts were unconstitutional as it limited free speech, which is guaranteed in the first Amendment. If the individual states chose to nullify the acts, that would be a sign of rebellion. I do not think that the US should institute forms of the Alien and Sedition Act. It's America. The people here should be free to say what they want to say.
