jan 21, 1798 - The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions

Description:

Madison hoped that other states would register their opposition to the Alien and Sedition Acts as beyond the powers given to Congress. The Kentucky Resolutions, authored by Jefferson, went further than Madison's Virginia Resolution and asserted that states had the power to nullify unconstitutional federal laws.

The Alien and Sedition acts were unconstitutional because they infringed on the reserved powers of the states.
