Kentucky Resolutions

• Reconceiving interpretive autonomy: insights from the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions.

The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, drafted by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in response to the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, are an example of government actors other than judicial officers engaging in dialogue regarding the Constitution. The controversy focused on the ability of the states to nullify laws enacted outside the powers expressly granted by the states to the federal government. Constitutional debates should not be seen as solely the domain of the courts. The rights of the states to question constitutionality is itself a principle central to the Constitution.
