Answer:

The Virginia and Kentucky Resolution was a reaction to the Alien and Sedition Acts because the resolution considered these acts unconstitutional.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Alien and Sedition Acts were considered unconstitutional by the drafters of the Virginia and Kentucky Resolution (Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and other important individuals) because it went against the 1st Amendment and sullied other constitutional rights.
