•
•
•
•
•
Under the threat of war with France, Congress in 1798 passed four laws in
an effort to strengthen the Federal government. Known as the Alien and
Sedition Acts, the legislation sponsored by the Federalists was also
intended to quell any political opposition from the Republicans, led by
Thomas Jefferson.
The first of the laws was the Naturalization Act, passed by Congress on
June 18. This act required that aliens be residents for 14 years instead of 5
years before they could become US citizens.
Congress passed the Alien Act on June 25, authorizing the President to
deport aliens "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States"
during peacetime.
The third law, the Alien Enemies Act, was enacted by Congress on July 6.
This act allowed the wartime arrest, imprisonment and deportation of any
alien subject to an enemy power.
The last of the laws, the Sedition Act, passed on July 14 declared that any
treasonable activity, including the publication of "any false, scandalous and
malicious writing," was a high misdemeanor, punishable by fine and
imprisonment. By virtue of this legislation twenty-five men, most of them
editors of Republican newspapers, were arrested and their newspapers
forced to shut down.

Immediately, Roger Taney, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States issued a writ of
habeas corpus commanding the military to bring
Merryman before him. The military refused to follow
the writ. Justice Taney, in Ex parte Merryman, then
ruled the suspension of habeas corpus
unconstitutional because the writ could not be
suspended without an Act of Congress. President
Lincoln and the military ignored Justice Taney's ruling.
