The significance of the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions was to oppose Adams Alien and Seditions Act. If the Sedition Act was a threat to civil liberties, the Jefferson's response was a threat to the sovereignty of the national government and the survival of the union. The Alien and Sedition Act was thought to be in direct violation of the Constitutions free speech rights, violating the First Amendment.
