The main goal of the Sedition Acts was to stop people from speaking out against the national government. These laws were passed in 1798 by the Federalist-controlled Congress and signed into law by President John Adams. The Acts made it a crime to criticize the government, its officials, or any of their actions. This was seen as an attempt to silence the opposition party, the Democratic-Republicans, and to strengthen the Federalists' grip on power. The Sedition Acts were widely criticized and seen as a violation of the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.
