The Kentucky Resolutions (Thomas Jefferson) and the Virginia Resolutions (James Madison) set the basic arguments for states' rights. Both documents seemed to support the rights of the states to interpret the Constitution by saying that if an individual state considered an act of Congress in violation of, or in conflict with the Constitution, that state could then declare that act (law) null and void (not enforceable) within the borders of that state. John C. Calhoun would base his doctrine of Nullification on the arguments set forth in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions.
