Answer:

Alien and Sedition Acts were passed by the Federalist Congress in 1798 and signed into law by President Adams.

Step-by-step explanation:

These laws included new powers to deport foreigners as well as making it harder for new immigrants to vote. Prior a new immigrant would have to reside in the United States for five years before becoming eligible to vote, but a new law raised this to 14 years.
