The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions written in 1798 and 1799 were aimed at overturning the Alien and Sedition Acts passed by the U.S. Congress in 1798. This legislature gave the President sweeping powers for the time to delay citizenship and deport citizens if he deemed them a threat to the country.

Which slave states did not leave the union?
Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. The elected state leaders of Maryland would have left the Union, but the Federal government put them all in prison before they had a chance, and kept them there, without charges, and suspended the Constitutional Right of Habeus Corpus, so they could not petition for their release. Delaware, which is landlocked by Maryland, seeing this, did not attempt it. Missouri likewise would have left the Union, but prompt action by a US Army officer on the scene, Nathaniel Lyon, assisted by pro-Union militia groups of German immigrants, prevented it. Kentucky at first declared "neutrality". Military commanders on both sides outside Kentucky coveted strategic locations along the Ohio River in northern Kentucky, and the Confederates acted first, "invading" Kentucky to seize the high ground at Columbus. This forced Kentucky into the Union camp. Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri sent men to the armies of both sides, though. Additionally, West Virginia "seceded" from the state of Virginia while the war was going on, and was set up as a "new" state in 1863. Apparently it was acceptable for part of a state to secede from its old relationship, but not for entire states to secede from the Union. East Tennessee wanted to do likewise, but was never able to.

How did Jefferson attempt to undo the Federalist innovations of earlier administrations?
Actually, Jefferson adopted some of the Federalist programs. He said nothing about the doctrine of nullification that he and Madison had favored in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. He allowed some of Hamilton's financial programs, like the Bank of the US, to continue. He did do away with a lot of the pomp and ritual adopted by Washington and Adams. He pardoned people still in jail as a result of the Sedition Act. He restored the five year residency requirement for citizenship. He replaced Federalist office holders with Republicans.
