Sedition Act of 1798 expired on March 3, 1801, and purported to punish false and malicious statements about the Federalist President John Adams and the majority-Federalist Congress, not about the Democratic-Republican Vice-President Thomas Jefferson.
The bill was defeated in the House by a 53-49 vote; nearly all Federalists voted for it, and all Republicans voted against it.
