The Resulting Reactions to The Issuance of the Resolutions of Kentucky and Virginia 1798

Abstract

The resolutions of "Kentucky and Virginia" of 1798 provoked the anger of the federal administration and many US states alike, as these resolutions were considered as a clear infringement by the two states on the federal administration, so the responses of most US states were characterized by the nature of explicit criticism of those resolutions, and accusing Kentucky and Virginia of seeking to dismantle the federal union, that union that all states have been perpetuating, especially after they fought a war with Britain - the war of independence - in order to form it.
