Educated people..I need your help!?

Question

can you tell me if these sentences are okay..if not please tell me what changes to make

-If a state decided that a law was unconstitutional, then it would be rejected in that state, but this idea was never tried out. Kentucky and Virginia did not try to enforce these resolutions, however their defiance of federal power was clear.

Answer 1

It looks right, but if I were writing it, I would change it to:

-If a state decided that a law was unconstitutional, then it would be rejected in that state, although this was never officially tested. Kentucky and Virginia did not try to enforce these resolutions, however their defiance of federal power was clear.

Answer 2

A state decided that if a law was unconstitutional, it would be rejected. However, this decision was never implemented. Kentucky and Virginia did not enforce these resolutions, clearly in defiance of federal power.

Answer 3

If a state decided that a law was unconstitutional, that state could reject it. Only Kentucky and Virginia did not use this power. However, their defiance of Federal power was clear.

(Okay so far, but, in what way did Kentucky and Virginia display their defiance of Federal power? You need to include that.)

Answer 4

-If a state decided that a law was unconstitutional, then it would be rejected in that state, but this idea was never ATTEMPTED. Kentucky and Virginia did not try to enforce these resolutions; however their defiance of federal AUTHORITY was clear.

Answer 5

When states found laws unconstitutional the law was usually rejected by the states government. Even though this occurred it seems that this procedure was used rarely by states.

sounds strange to me.

Answer 6

First you have to decide exactly what it is you want to say, then write it down clearly and concisely. The sentence you gave is vague as to its meaning.

Answer 7

looks good to me

Answer 8

i'm not educated =)
