Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Resist the Alien and Sedition Acts.

Explanation:

The Virginia and Kentucky resolutions were a response to the Alien and Sedition Acts. These laws severely limited the rights of immigrants and the freedom of speech for all American citizens. This is why these resolutions called for the nullification of the Alien and Sedition Acts. Nullification is the idea that states can ignore federal laws that they deem violate the constitutional rights of American citizen.
