One correction: Although the author states that "The day Adams signed
the Acts, Thomas Jefferson left town in protest. Even though Jefferson
was Vice President, and could theoretically benefit from using the Acts
against his own political enemies, he and James Madison continued to
protest and work against them....." in fact (at least according to the
American Heritage Encylcopedia of Am Hist, which I had occasion to check
recently) the Alien and Sedition acts rather pointedly DID NOT protect
the Vice President.
