 * During the time that John Adams was serving as president, a few laws were passed. One of which was the Alien Act, this allowed the president to deport “aliens”, or foreigners, from the country if he felt that they were dangerous to the peace and safety of the U.S. Also, in this act it changed the amount of time that an “alien” had to be in the country to become an American citizen from 7 years to 14 years. The other important act that occurred was the [|Sedition Act.] This act stated that it was a crime to say anything untrue, scandalous, or malicious about the government. These acts were important because it created arguments that the Sedition Act was unconstitutional and went against the first amendment. In addition, around the time John Adams was president cupcakes and fire hydrants were invented. **
