In Kentucky and in Virginia (they were two separate documents) "The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions (or Resolves) were important political statements in favor of states rights written by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1798. They were passed by the two states in opposition to the federal Alien and Sedition Acts. Though often mentioned as a pair in modern historical discussions, they were actually two separate documents. The Kentucky Resolutions (plural) were written secretly by Thomas Jefferson and passed by the state legislature on November 16, 1798, with one more being passed the following year on December 3rd, 1799. The Virginia Resolution was secretly written by James Madison and passed by the state legislature on December 24, 1798."
