Both the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans had concerns about the **Alien Act**.
The Federalists supported the Alien Act because it strengthened national security, as it allowed the government to deport immigrants deemed dangerous. However, it also faced criticism, even from some Federalists, for potentially infringing on civil liberties and being too harsh.
The Democratic-Republicans opposed the Alien Act, viewing it as an attack on immigrants and a violation of the rights of individuals. They argued that it was used to suppress political opposition.
Thus, while their reasons differed, both parties had at least some level of dislike or concern regarding the Alien Act, making it the correct answer to your question.
