The correct answer is D) The importance of national security to the Federalists.
The Alien and Sedition Acts were passed in 1798 under Federalist President John Adams. The Alien And Sedition Acts were meant to invoke stricter laws on immigration in order to protect national security. The Federalist felt that immigration at this time posed a threat to America's safety. That's why they wanted to increase the amount of time an immigrant had to live in the US before voting and made more restrictive immigration laws.
