D. The sedition act

Explanation: Actually was called the Alien & Sedition Acts

Answer from: beautycutieforever10

The correct answer is D. The Sedition Act prompted the passage of the Virginia and Kentucky resolution.

Explanation:

The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions were important political declarations that support the rights of states. They were secretly drafted by vice presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1798. These resolutions were adopted by the states of Kentucky and Virginia because they were opposed to the Alien and Sedition Acts. Although these two resolutions have always been referred to as a pair in modern historical discussions, they are actually two separate documents. The Kentucky Resolution was drafted by Jefferson and adopted by the state legislature on November 16, 1798, with another one passed the following year on December 3, 1799. Virginia Resolution was adopted by Madison drafted and approved by the state legislature on December 24, 1798. Jefferson and Madison worked together to write these two documents but it was unknown who their authors were for years. The two resolutions declared that the Constitution is a "contract." - meaning that it is an interstate agreement. The federal government had no right to exercise power that is not clearly assigned to itself; If the federal government seized those powers, the acts of the federal government would be invalidated. Therefore, states could decide the constitutionality of laws to be passed by Congress.
