Answer:
The virginia and kentucky resolutions
Step-by-step explanation:
The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions were passed as a protest to the Alien and Sedition Acts. The resolutions argued that the states had the duty to nullify within the state’s borders laws that the state believed to be unconstitutional. And they believed that the Alien and Sedition Acts were unconstitutional because they infringed powers that were reserved to the states, therefore the Alien and Sedition Acts were not applied to Virginia and Kentucky.
