Solution
The First Amendment should have been cited as a reason NOT to write the Alien and Sedition Acts. The appropriate part of the Amendment to quote is: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." This part of the First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, which was infringed upon by the Alien and Sedition Acts.
