ok so here's the prompt:

The debate over teh Alien and Sedition acts of 1798 revealed bitter controversies on a number of issues. Discuss these issues involved and explain why these controversies developed.

i need some help with the controversy part. more ideas?

i have that the SEdition acts were unconsitutional. but my teacher says it isnt necessarily "un CONSTITUTIONAL". was it a contradiction to the Bill of Rights or what? im not sure.

and the Alien Acts i know that it was aimed at the dem.-rep. so that teh poor immigrants wouldnt vote for them...

im still helllllof blank on how to start my whole thing...help please.
