Question

What did the Alien and Sedition Acts represent?

A)Thomas Jefferson's concern with national defense
B)James Madison's concern with personal freedom
C)The importance of immigration to the Democratic-Republicans***
D)The importance of national security to the Federalists

I choose C because These laws included new powers to deport foreigners as well as making it harder for new immigrants to vote.

Answer 1

Yes, those acts did that, but that's not the right answer. That answer makes immigration sound like a positive. The Alien and Sedition Acts did not see it that way.

Answer 2

so D would be the correct answer?

Answer 3

Yes.
