Virginia Resolutions
Virginia Resolutions James Madison framed this document, which was adopted by the Va. legislature on 24 December 1798. The resolutions declared that states reserved the right to judge federal laws when they ratified the Constitution—which was characterized as a compact among the states—denounced the Alien and Sedition acts as unconstitutional, and declared that states may use interposition to stop the federal government from violating their citizens’ rights. It was supported by both Kentucky Resolutions.
