The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, passed in 1798 and 1799 respectively, declared that states had the right to nullify Federal Laws deemed unconstitutional. Authored by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, these resolutions argued that the federal government had exceeded its constitutional powers, particularly regarding the Alien and Sedition Acts. They emphasized the principle of states' rights and the idea that the Constitution was a compact among states, allowing them to challenge federal authority. This set a precedent for the later concept of nullification and states' rights debates in American history.
