Alien & Sedition: Awful & Sorry

The Alien & Sedition acts passed by the Fed. Mean spirited Difficult for foreigners to become US citizens The pres. could throw anyone he wanted out of the US if thought to be dangerous Aimed at French-fleeing French Revolution

The Alien acts: Support vs. No Support Fed.=Admire English Dem.-Rep.=Admire French Most ppl. in the US=Protestants French=Catholic Wanted to keep the Catholics out of the US Supported the Alien acts

The Sedition Act Sedition acts Crime to criticize the gov’t & could be arrested Ben Franklin’s grandson & congressman Matthew Lyon-VT

The Sedition Act Matthew Lyon Came to US from Ireland at 15-indentured servant Fought w/ Ethan Allen & the Green Mt. Boys in the R. War Independent, temper, & wild “Spitting Lyon” & fought w/members of Congress Attacked Pres. Adams in the Rutland Gazette Pres. was trying to act like a king & should be sent to the mad house Lyon was sent to jail

The Sedition & Alien Acts Jefferson was unhappy w/ the Sedition acts “I know not what mortifies me most, that I should fear to write what I think, or my country bear such a state of things.” The pres. & Congress went against the Constitution Went against freedom of speech If A. & S. acts are passed=Supreme Court say unconstitutional Court wasn’t very strong

The Sedition & Alien Acts VA & KY wrote resolves saying the laws are unconstitutional Jefferson wrote the KY resolve & Madison wrote the VA resolve Said that the states should have the pwr. to say if a law was unconstitutional or not Most Americans wanted to get rid of the A. & S. laws MA wrote a resolve saying that states had agreed to the Constitution & it was not up to the states to decide if a law was unconstitutional or not

Our Gov’t Our gov’t is still trying to work out their issues 1803-The Supreme Ct. had the right to say if a law was unconstitutional or not 3 branches of our gov’t were setup to stop too much pwr. In the beginning the Supreme Court was weak, but then John Marshall was appointed the Chief Justice
