?The debate over the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 revealed bitter controversies on a number of issues. Discuss the issues and explain why these controversies developed.? Allie Kaltenbach The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 were the result of many years of built up tension between the Federalists and Democratic Republicans. Each party interpreted the constitution differently, leading to the inability to agree on many issues that arose including how to deal with international matters. The overall outcome was the passing of these acts by the Federalists.

Part A. Wendell Phillips Wendell Phillips believed in the abolition of slavery and denounced the Constitution because slavery was allowed under it. He also believed in advocating women?s and Native American?s rights, universal suffrage and temperance. Phillips was known as the voice of the anti-slavery movement, delivering speeches as a great public figure in the Anti-Slavery Society in 1835. He also wrote pamphlets for William Lloyd Garrison?s The Liberator on abolition.
