d)the importance of national security to the federalists
i choose c because these laws included new powers to deport foreigners as well as making it harder for new immigrants to vote.

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.

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
