The unstated purpose of the Alien and Sedition Acts was to weaken the Democratic-Republican Party by suppressing dissent and restricting the rights of those opposed to Federalist policies. This goal was achieved through the enactment of laws that targeted immigrants and criminalized criticism of the government. Therefore, the correct option is E: weaken the Democratic-Republican Party.
