The Virginia Resolution of 1798

The Kentucky Resolution of 1798

"Short of reading Thomas E. Woods’ remarkable book, “Nullification”, the two resolutions linked above and the following address written by John C. Calhoun in 1831 comprise a condensed approach to understanding the intent of the Founders in drafting the Constitution for the united States of America. The two major approaches to interpreting the Constitution are, 1) the sovereign citizen approach, and 2) the national citizen approach. The first approach respects the rights of the individual citizen and also the rights of the sovereign States which formed the compact. The second approach would permit the national/general government an unwarranted authority over the States and the citizens of the several States. To see clearly the intent of the Founders, the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798 and this essay by John C. Calhoun are necessary/required reading. Oath Keepers encourages all readers here to grant oneself the time to read these documents and absorb the remarkable lessons embodied in the language."
