On the Resolutions of the Legislature of Virginia, respecting the Alien & Sedition Laws

Richmond, VA, 1800

ALIEN & SEDITION LAWS – Communications from several States, on the Resolutions of the Legislature of Virginia, respecting the Alien & Sedition Laws. Richmond, VA: printed by Meriwether Jones, printer to the Commonwealth, [1800].



First edition. Future Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison secretly authored the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 in response to the Alien and Sedition Acts, condemning them as unconstitutional. The Federalist response, as here, held that state legislatures do not have the authority to decide on the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. This pamphlet is the first official edition, printed by Meriwether Jones, just as the Virginia Resolution had been the previous year. Rare at auction; there are no complete copies in the records of RBH. Evans 38952; Sabin 100077.



Octavo (154 x 90mm). (Page corners rounded, title-page and last leaf a bit tattered and soiled, imprint a bit rubbed, small patch to lower margin of last leaf.) Modern plain wrappers (darkened). Provenance: D. Reid (ownership inscription on title) – W.B. Hare (inkstamp dated 1812 on p.3).
