Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Alien and Sedition Acts were primarily aimed at weakening the Democratic-Republican Party, which opposed the Federalist Party's policies. These acts made it harder for immigrants to become citizens and vote (since many immigrants supported the Democratic-Republicans) and restricted speech critical of the government, which was often voiced by Democratic-Republicans.
