Summary

As war with France loomed in 1798, Congress passed a series of laws collectively known as the Alien and Sedition Acts. These measures aimed to strengthen the U.S. government by stifling both political influence from abroad and opposition from within the United States. Supporters argued that the laws would help prevent the French from invading the United States, while opponents argued that they were actually intended to silence criticism of the government. Are the Alien and Sedition Acts necessary to protect national security, or a violation of people's civil liberties?

This eBook examines the history of the Alien and Sedition Acts and delves into the pro and con arguments that surrounded them. It includes a timeline, primary sources, a bibliography, and a "Learn More About" chapter with more information on the topic.
