Compare And Contrast Alien And Sedition Acts

The Alien and Sedition acts were passed by the Federalists in the United States congress in 1798, and they were signed into the law by President John Adams. The alien and sedition acts were four laws, one of which was called the Naturalization Act, another was the Alien Act, the two others were the Alien Enemies Act, and the Sedition Act. The four acts were passed in order to try controlling the activities of the foreigners in the United States during impending war.
The Virginia and Kentucky resolutions were passed in 1798. These resolutions were written by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The two resolutions were protests of civil liberties to not put the Alien and Sedition rights into play.
