They are two COMPLETELY different things.
The Alien and Sedition Act prevented the anti-Federalists from publicly criticizing the Federalist government and allowed for the deportation of "troublesome" immigrants (who were mostly anti-Federalists).
The Patriot Act allows for the surveillance of terrorists operating in our country and communicating overseas. It also calls for the tightening of our borders. But it does NOT stop people from being critical of the gov't...obviously.

I do not know. Award me no points. But you have an extremely good question. When you write your essay or report in class, you will have people riveted on your answer. You do it, girrl!
