The Sedition Act was passed by a Federalist led legislature to curb criticism of the Adams Administration. Though allegedly passed to assure national security, historians agree they were mainly passed to silence the Federalist opposition that was coming from the Democratic Republican party. French immigrants supported the Democratic Republicans. The Act was repealed by the Naturalization Act of 1802.

A negative consequence of the Sedition Act?
They were the Alien and Sedition Acts, enacted by John Adams. Among other things, parts of the Acts violated the 1st Amendment because it made it illegal to give 'bad press' to a public official (like John Adams, himself, a constant and merciless target of ridicule and insult masterminded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison on the Democratic-Republican side and Alexander Hamilton (among others) on the Federalist side). One would want to search query the Acts to find out everything about them.
