The answer is: C) John Adams

The Alien and Sedition Acts were a series of four bills passed and signed by then-president John Adams in 1798.

These acts ranged from making any negative writing or publications towards the United States illegal, to granting the president the power deportation and imprisonment towards any non citizen who it deemed a danger to the government.
