Answer 1

The situation created by the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts was a disagreement between states and the national government. These acts led to significant controversy and opposition, particularly from states' rights advocates, who argued that the federal government was overstepping its bounds by restricting free speech and expanding its power over immigration and naturalization.
