@Ms.Sue please check this
7. I don't know.
10. I disagree.
13. I disagree. Check your book.
16. No.
The rest of your answers are right.
Question 7: The XYZ Affair was controversial, but it can be argued that the Alien and Sedition Acts were too extreme and too unpopular. If you read your textbook, you'll find that they made it illegal to criticize the president or the government, which is antithetical to democracy. After that the Federalists, who advocated a strong national government, lost favor. The acts were eventually repealed. John Adams is one of the most interesting figures in our history, a good example of a man who made huge contributions but was not wholly successful as president. But we can argue that he was absolutely essential to the creation of the United States before he got himself elected president.
