24 дек 1798 г. - Virginia Resolution

Описание:

The Virginia Resolution was written by James Madison in response to the Alien and Sedition Acts. The Virginia Resolution says that the federal government had no right/authority to enact those laws since it was not a power specifically given to it by the Constitution. This is significant because it shows a power struggle between the states and the federal government. This is like the states taking back some of the power from the national government. This is an argument between the states and national gov't about whether the federal gov't has the power to enact these laws.
