“‘A nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.’ That’s how Thomas Jefferson put it in his draft Resolutions against the Alien and Sedition Acts. On November 10, 1798, the Kentucky house passed resolutions based on his principles. They not only reaffirmed the Constitution’s structure – a strict line between delegated and reserved powers – but they also laid out how to defend it against violations of the constitution by the federal government.” (11/11/24)
