Explanation:

The Alien and Sedition Acts were a set of four laws passed by the United States Congress in 1798, in anticipation of a war with France. They made it more difficult for someone to become a US citizen, legalized the president imprisoning and deporting non-citizens who are considered dangerous or from a hostile country, and criminalized making false statements against the federal government. The federalists claimed that these laws would protect the country during a de facto war against France.
