Answer:

a) increasing the time it took immigrants to gain the right to vote.

Explanation:

The Naturalization Act of 1790 was an act passed by the US Congress which provided rules for granting US citizenship. The law weakened the support for the Democratic-Republicans because it limited naturalization to those who were “whites of good character” which excluded Native Americans, indentured servants, slaves, free blacks and Asians. The Act also made harder for immigrants to vote, it increased to five years.
