    The document appears to be a worksheet with questions about the Alien and Sedition Acts passed under President John Adams in 1798. The Acts allowed for the imprisonment of immigrants who were seen as dangerous and made it illegal to speak out against the government, ending debate on the Alien Act. These Acts were seen as un-American because they went against freedom of speech and dissent protected by the Constitution.
