Chapter 9 section 4 pg.292 The Second President The Federalist Party Splits

23 The Federalist Party Splits

Besides, did you see those frigates? Oui… I agree to stop seizing your ships.

25 Alien and Sedition Acts
Chapter 9 section 4 pg.293 The Second President Alien and Sedition Acts

26 Alien and Sedition Acts
The Second President Alien and Sedition Acts Chapter 9 section 4 pg.293 Alien Act This says any alien (foreigner) can be kicked out of the country if the President thinks they are dangerous. Immigrants must now wait 14 years to become a citizen and to vote. Opponents argued that this violates the 5th and 6th amendments rights to a fair trial / innocent until proven guilty. Democratic-Republicans disliked this law because many of their supporters were immigrants who were waiting to become citizens. This meant they would have less voting supporters in the next election. This was America’s first immigration law in a nation of immigrants.

“I feel that states should have the right to nullify or cancel any law that they feel is unconstitutional.
