I am not in favor of these acts because they go against the right of people to express themselves freely and violated the first amendment of the constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The alien and the sedition act was passed which provided harsh and very strong punishments for the people who made wrong statements and false statements who made interference with the prosecution of the war.

Very harsh punishments were given to the people who said something wrong about the government of the United Stats of America, about the flag or anything bad about the constitution. Nothing could be borne against anyone who agitated against the production.
