	Alien and Sedition Acts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Alien and Sedition Acts were a series of laws passed by the Federalists in 1798 during the administration of President John Adams.
		While Jefferson did denounce the Sedition Act as a violation of the First Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights, which protected the right of free speech, his main argument on the unconstitutionality of the act was that it violated the rights of the States, as promised in the Tenth Amendment.
		The Alien and Sedition Acts were not appealed to the Supreme Court for review, though individual Supreme Court Justices, sitting in circuit, heard many of the cases prosecuting opponents of the Federalists.

		The Sedition Act made it illegal to publish certain statements against the government, oppose lawful acts of the Congress of the United States and aid a foreign power in plotting against the United States; all considered seditious acts; hence the name of the law.
		Jefferson and Madison declared the Alien Act to be unconstitutional as it was an expansion of the powers of the executive branch, and an extension of the authority of the federal government over aliens.

		The concept that aliens are more secure residing in a quasi-legal underworld in which their illegal status is hidden by police, otherwise sworn to uphold the law, is illogical at best.
		It is important that nothing in the CLEAR Act be misinterpreted by the Executive Branch or by the Judiciary as narrowing the inherent arrest authority that the states already possess.
		The alien absconder problem is of such immense magnitude that it has made an utter mockery of the rule of law.
