4. The Presidency of John Adams Based on the slides, describe the and answer the terms and questions below. Define & Answer The XYZ Affair The Alien Act The Sedition Act States’ Rights EQ : How did problems with France intensify the split between the Federalists and Republicans? 15

5. The XYZ Affair France was annoyed with the U.S. and started capturing our ships because they thought the Jay Treaty meant that we sided with Britain John Adams sent 3 people to make peace with France – France bribed us $250,000 to side with them and wanted us to lend France $3 million The U.S. named the bribers X, Y and Z. – Many Americans wanted to go to war for capturing our ships and trying to bribe us

7. The Alien & Sedition Acts The Federalists and Republicans hated each other more because the Republicans wanted to go to war To reduce “WAR FEVER,” Congress passed 2 new laws – Alien Act – an immigrant must live from 5 to 14 years in the U.S. before becoming a citizen – Sedition Act – It was a CRIME to insult or say anything against the government (aimed towards Republicans)

9. States’ Rights Republicans got upset because the Alien & Sedition Acts went against our FREEDOM OF SPEECH Nobody knew who to complain to yet… – Everyone went to complain to their states – VA and KY said that the Alien and Sedition Acts were UNCONSTITUTIONAL – Those states said that if it is unconstitutional, they could ignore the LAW THIS BOOSTED THE IDEA THAT STATES HAD RIGHTS
