Do you think the fine and prison time that was threatened in the Sedition Act fits the crime?

Answer 1

Hi Giamarie: To answer this question (which is really asking your opinion), you will need to do two things first

A) Summarize the Alien and Sedition Act in your own words

B) Identify the fine and prison time provisions contained within the Act.

Then you must look inside your heart and mind to see whether you think the "punishment fits the crime."

Please contact me if you have any further questions about this matter or any matter involving American History.
