The Alien and Sedition Acts were comprised of 4 laws.
The Naturalization Act extended required residence from five to fourteen years before an alien could become a citizen
The Alien Friends Act allowed the president to deport any alien who seemed dangerous to "peace and safety".
The Alien Enemies Act allowed the deportation of any alien from a country at war with the United States
The Sedition Act made it a crime to make statements intended to defame or bring the president, Congress, or government into contempt or disrepute. Those convicted could be fined up to $2,000 and jailed for two years.
Three of the found acts called, collectively, the Alien and Sedition Acts, were repealed by congress at the beginning of Thomas Jefferson's administration. The fourth, the Alien Enemies Act, was modified after World War I but remains in force to this day.
The Alien act changed the time for immigrants to become a citizen from 5 to 14 years.

They took away the First Amendment rights, attempted to silence the Democrat-Republican party, and make it extremely difficult to become a US citizen.
