Who was the most affected by the alien and sedition act?
541619
the Aliens were the most affected. The laws that make up the alien and sedition act basically protected the President and Government from any written "false or malicious" statments said or written by aliens, and allowed the president to deport or imprision any "enemy" aliens. It also extended the amount of time aliens had to be residents before becoming citizens. \n\nGo to this website, it has a really long explination of all of the things about this act! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts

The correct answer is the Bill of Rights.\n\nThe cruel and unusual punishment is in the 8th Amendment, the others are in the 5th.

5. Impact of amnesty proposals on Illegal Alien numbers \nhttp://www.theamericanresistance.com/ref...\n\nOn January 9, 2004, President Bush proposed a guest worker program- A thinly veiled amnesty for illegal aliens.\n\nA February 29, 2004, Fox News article subsequently stated that from 50 percent to 90 percent of illegal aliens apprehended claimed they were coming here for the "amnesty" (their words). \nOne Border Patrol officer stated that "They believe that they are only responding to an invitation."\n\nAlthough correlation does not necessarily imply causation, it seems reasonable to presume a relatively modest 25 percent increase in illegal aliens starting January 15, 2004, through the rest of the year as a result of the "guest worker" proposal. \nThis 25 percent is a conservative estimate of the increased flow of illegal aliens into the U.S. as a result of President Bush's amnesty proposal. \n\nIn fact, official Border Patrol apprehension statistics show that total 2004 apprehensions as of June 30, 2004 represent \nA 190 PERCENT INCREASE over total 2003 apprehensions.\n\nShort Answer - No It Is NOT A Wise Decision \nTo Grant "AMNESTY" Or "GUEST WORKER PROGRAMS" \nThe Result Will INCREASE The Amount Of ILLEGAL Aliens Entering Our Nation

From Wikipedia:\n\n"The Alien and Sedition Acts were acts of Congress passed during the administration of President John Adams; his signature made them into law on July 14, 1798. They were designed to protect the United States from aliens alleged dangerous.\n\n"With war looming against a major power, France, Federalists in Congress, in 1798, passed the laws to protect national security in the United States. They were similar to, but not as stringent as laws passed at about the same time in the United Kingdom and Canada in response to the threat of subversion by agents of the radical French government. Jeffersonians, however, recognized that the laws were to be used as a tool of the ruling Federalist party to extend and retain their power, silencing any opposition. Because most immigrants became Democratic-Republicans, the Naturalization Act's longer residency requirement meant that fewer of them could become citizens and vote against the Federalists. Under the Alien and Alien Enemies Acts, the president could deport any "dangerous" or "enemy" alien — a law that is still in effect in 2006.\n\n"Under the Sedition Act, anyone "opposing or resisting any law of the United States, or any act of the President of the United States" could be imprisoned for up to two years. It was also illegal to "write, print, utter, or publish" anything critical of the president or Congress. It was notable that the Act did not prohibit criticism of the Vice-President. Jefferson held the office of Vice-President at the time the Act was passed so the law left him open to attack. While it appears harsh to current Americans, the act was actually much more lenient than the traditional British law of seditious libel. For instance:\n\n"The act required the defamatory words to be false, and it permitted the defendant to plead truth as a defense, unlike traditional seditious libel law, in which truth actually made the offense greater with the principle "the greater the truth, the greater the libel." In other words, as long as someone uttered or published the truth, he could not be convicted under the Sedition Act. \n\n"The act required the defendant to know of the defamatory words' falsity. In other words, someone who uttered a falsehood believing it to be the truth could not be convicted. \n\n"The act allowed the use of a jury to determine both the facts and the law in the case, unlike traditional seditious libel. \n\n"Despite these modifications, however, Jeffersonians denounced the Sedition Act as a violation of the First Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights, which protected the right of free speech. To Jefferson and Madison, it was not that they disagreed with it violating free speech; it was the method by which it was passed. The First Amendment clearly states that "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech." Therefore, the matter should be left up to the states to decide, not Congress. Although the Federalists hoped the Act would muffle the opposition, Democratic-Republicans still "wrote, printed, uttered and published" their criticisms of the Federalists. Indeed, they strongly criticised the act itself, and used it as an election issue. The act expired when the term of President Adams ended in 1800.\n\n"Thomas Jefferson and James Madison opposed the Acts, and drafted the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in protest, calling on the states to, in effect, veto federal legislation. Key to these resolutions was the Compact Theory, which states that the United States are made up of a voluntary union of States that agree to give up some of their soverignty in order to join the union. Therefore, states can determine if the federal government has gone too far. Most other states saw this theory as destructive towards the union.\n\n"Ultimately the Acts backfired against the Federalists; President Adams himself never

Not much at that time....that took MANY years.\n\nNT was tried and hung for that.\n\nBut it galvanized the Abolitionists....and later would be the Dread Scott Case...SC decided that slaves were not free even in free states , they could not be citizens and that Congress could not bar slavery from a territory. Though some states had passed laws to abolish slavery...I believe Illinois.

Well, if I had to explain it I'd say it was ED.  Not that I'm a RUSHIE or really anxious to dwell on his... well, problem.  Although I don't think its a surprise to anyone, regardless of the political point of view that they espouse that he'd have trouble "south of the border."  Kind of ironic actually.

I've heard of it being done in a murder case where the alien had actually been arrested but released, however, I don't think the courts will support it.\n\nLet's watch and see, though.  One of the things that passed in Colorado on the 7th was a requirement that their attorney general sue the federal government for failure to enforce illegal immigration laws.  They figure they are owed education costs, incarceration costs, etc. etc.\n\nAlso, Rox is right.  In LA for example, Special Order 40 might give you a case.
