Answer:

The Kentucky and Virginia Resolves

Explanation:

The Alien Acts were born after the rumour of an invasion of France, so the American people were “warned” that such a foreign influence would jeopardize the United States.

The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions were signed of 1798 were created as a response to the Alien and Sedition Acts signed on July 6th, 1798. Such resolutions were authored by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. The spirit of the resolutions was to deplore as unconstitutional the Alien and Sedition Acts given the fact that such acts went against the federal authority and in consequence against the Constitution.
