Answer: Kentucky and Virginia's resolutions fit with Jefferson's perspective on government because the resolutions that Jefferson and Madison made were caused by the fact of the Alien and Sedition Acts. (The Alien and Sedition Acts were a series of four laws passed by the U.S. Congress in 1798 amid widespread fear that war with France was imminent.) The issue Jefferson that he struggled with was how to manage and exactly "answer" the Acts at that time. Yet, none of the four states (Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico) gave a answer to Kentucky's and Virginia's appeal for help and the ten states did not approve. According to the article titled "Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions" it states that "Most states insisted that under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution (Article VI), the states had no power to block enforcement of federal laws and that the courts should be relied upon to strike down unconstitutional laws (a position which both Jefferson and Madison had endorsed in the context of the Bill of Rights).6 In fact, the 1798 elections resulted in an increase in Federalist control of the Congress. Many years later, as states’ rights controversies threatened a sectional divide in the nation, Madison would claim, somewhat disingenuously, that the Resolutions were never intended actually to block application of a federal law but, rather, were intended to rally political opposition to the Alien and Sedition Acts." This evidence supports my reasoning because it explains the cause and effect of Jefferson and the choices he made and how exactly he impacted this situation.
