THE
BIGI2SAL DRAFT-PREPARED BT THOS. JEFFERSON.
l.i Besomed, That the several States composing the
United States jbf America; are not : united on the
principles of the unlimited submission to the general
g(jve -nment ; out that by compact unaer tne siyie
and : itle of a Constitution for the United States, and
Of a nen'dmeht thereto, they constituted a general
gove -nment for special purposes, 'delegated to 'that
gove -nment " certain definite' powers, reserving each
Stati to itself the residuary mass of right to their
ow n self-government, and that, whensoever the gen
eral government assumes undelegated powers, its acts
'are. lhauthoritative, void, and of no -force ; that to
this ;ompact each State acceded as: a State and is an
in tec ral party ff that this government, created by this
compact, was not made the exclusive or nnal judge
of tbe extent of the powers delegated to itself ; since
that would have made its discretions and not the
Constitution, the measure of its powers j but, that as
in al other cases of compacr iftrjjwng, parties having
judg
for itself as well as of infractions as of the
mods
and measure of redress.1 -Resdced,
IThat the Constitution of the United
States, having delegated to Congress a power to pun-
ish
easoy, coiinterteiting the securities and coin of
the
the
Jnit3e-!i States, piracies and felonies committed on
I. : ' t ji . rc ii i c 1.
;ngii heaij, ;auu .ouenses against me laws, oi na-
tiona
aE-1 no ibther - crimes whatever, and it being
as a general principle, and one of the amend-
trueij
ments
the Constitutioh having also declared, " that
the ivers not. delegated to the United States by the
Coy titution nor prohibited by it to the;States, are
ry;i ved to the States respectively, or to the people, "
iep fore, also,! the same, act of Congress, passed on
the! 4th day of July, 1798, and entitled, " An act in
addition to the, act entitled an act for the punishment
of c rtain crimes against the United States ; " as also,
the act passed by them on the 27th day of June,
17SjH, entitled,VAn act to punish frauds committed
on it le banks df the United States, " (and all other of
thei act wliiqh assume to create, define, or punish
crin es others than those enumerated in the constitu
tion! are, altogether void and of no force, aud'that the
poer to create, define, and punish such other crimes
is y served, aiid of right appertains solely and ex
qluEively to tlie respective States, each witliih its own
Ter itory. . . '
S Resolved That it is truej. as a general principle,
anfll is also expressly declared by one of the amend
infii.ts to the Constitution, that j" the powers not dele
gat d to the j United States by the Constitution, por
pro tibited by Bt to the States, are reserved to the
Sta us' respectively or to the people ;" and that no
pos er overthe freedom of religion, freedom of speech
or freedom of the press being delegated to the United
Sta
es bvthe jponstitution, riot prohibited by it to the
Sta
rigl
pie
ret
les, all lawful powers, respecting the same did of
t remain, ftnd were reserved to, the States or peo-
and thus; was manitested their determination to
in to themselves the right of judging how far the
licentiousness jof speech and of the press may be
aboldired without lessening, their useful fredom: and
hov'far those abuses which cannot be separated from
the r use should be tolerated rathe'r than the use be
des a-oyed, and thus also they guarded against all
abi idgement" by the United States, of the freedom of
reli gious principles and. exercises, ' and retained to
tht nisei ves tli? right of protecting the same, as this,
sta:ed by a law passed on the; general demand of its
. citi zons, had Already, protected them from all human
res:raints. or mterfefence ; and. that, in addition to
thi i general jSHncipIe and express declaration, another
ah( more' special provision has been f made by one of
the amendment" to the-Constitution, which expressly
dec lares-, "thatj ".Congress shall make.no laws, re
spt cting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exerease thereof! or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press," thereby.
frit n rrl i nor
ta. lUI'IMIII.
in the
same sentence, and under ; the same words, the
fnehlom of religion, of "speech, and of the press, in-
asmuch, that j whatever violates either, - throws down
"thu sanctuary! which covers others, and that libels.
falk'hoods,. aiid defai nation, equally with heresy and
falke religion are withheld from the cognizance of i
feijeral tribuaials. That therefore the act of the
dihgress of the United Stites, passed on the 14th of
July, 1798, ejititled, " An act in addition to' the act
en itled an aet for the punishment of certain crimes
against the United States, which does abridge the
fmi'dom of the press, is not law, but is altogether void
an l ot no tonce. ' . y - -
M. Resdceil, That alien friends are tinder the' ju-
ristuetion aim protection ot the laws oi the htate
aerein they are ; that no power ove,r them has been
ui'iegarea to tne unitea states, nor - nrommtea to the
individual Sitates distinct from their power over
citizens, and Sit being true," as a general principle, and
ojn 3 of the amendments to the Constitution having
alio declaretl that " the powers not defegated to the
ited States by.; the Constitution, nor prohibited, to
tb
p States, aie reserved to the! States respectively, or
the people,, the act of the Congress of the United
Sthtes.-passed the 22d dav of June. .1798. entitled
n act coijcerning aliens," which assume power
over aliens not delegated by the Constitution, is not
laiv, but is altogether void and of no force.
additibn to the general prin
ciple as well as the express declaration, that powers
liijt delegated are reserved, another and more special
provision inferred in the Constitution, from abundant
Cimtion has declared,, " that the migration ot impor
tation tf such persops as any:bf the States now exist
ing shall think proper to admit, .shall not be pro
ibited by tlie Congress prior to the year 1808."-
Tliat this cummon wealth does admit the migration of
ai!len friend described as thej subject of the said act
t. inccrning aliens ; that a provision against prohibiting
'their migration, is a provision against all 'acts equiva
lent thereto or it would be: nugatory that to re
ft ove them Iwhen migrated is equivalent to a prohi
l ition of the migration, anel is therefore, contrary to
the said provision ot the Constitution, and void.
6. Rctioliledi That the imprisonment of a person
jimder the jprotection of the laws of this common-
ptealth on liis failure to Stbey the simple oreier of the
lfresuleiit, depart out of the united States, as is
Undertakdnl by the said act,! entitled, . "An act con
cerning aliens," is' contrary to the Constitution, one
.jtnendmen in which' has provided, that " no person
pall be deprived of their liberty without due process
jf law," and that another having provided "that in
;;tpi criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the
fright ot a llublic trial toy an impartial rarv. tb be in-
irnieti as to the; nature and cause'of the accusation, to
Ife Confronted with the witnesses against him, to have
cjoinpulsory process for cbtaihihg witnesses in bis
favor, and to have assistance of counsel for his de
fense," tlicf same , act undertaken to authorize the
president, tp.reriiove a person out of the United States
Who is under tie protection; of the law, on his own
Suspicion; Without jury, without public trial, without
donfrontajLibn of 'tlie witiisesses against him, without
having witaiesses in his favor, without defense, with--ut
counsej, is contrary tol those provisions, also of the
constitution, is therefore nsot.a lawj but utterly void,
ii'nd of no Jbrce. . ' . .' , -
That transferring the-power of judging any person
who is under tlie protection of the laws, from 'the
Courts to ,te Presidents of the United States as is uu-
(Jertaken bv the same act c ineerning aliens, is against
tfhe articl4 of the c nsti tit tion wliich provide s that
t the judicjal jniwer of. the United States shall be vest
d in the ciurts, the judges -of which shall hold their
ibffice duritig good behavior, and the said act is void
for that reison also, and it is further to l noted that
ibis transfer of the judiciary power is to that magis
trate' of the general government who already possess
all the executive, and qualified negative, in all the le-l
jjislative jiower.- . ' ; .
7. Resolced, That the construction applied by the
general government (as is evident by sundry pf their
proceeding)'! to those parts of the constitution of the,
lUnited States,; which delegate to Congress power to
Jay and. collect taxes, duties, ; imports, excises ; to
pay the debts, and provide for the common defense,
land general warfare of the United States, and to make
jail laws which shall be necessaw- and proper for carry
ing into execution the powers vested hy the constitu
tion in the government of the United States, or any
department thereof, goes to that destruction of all the
limits prescribed to their power by the constitution
that words meant by the instrument to be subsidiary
!only to the execution of the limited powers, ought not
to be so constructed as themselves to give unlimited
power, nor a part so to be taken, as to destroy the Whole
residue of the instrument: " That the proceeding of
the general government under color of those; articles,"
will bea fit and necessary subject for Tevisal ahdf cor
rection at a time of greater tranquility, while those
specified in the preceding resolutions call for immediate
redress. .'.'.' j- ' .
H. Resolved, 'That the preceding resolutions be trans
mitted to the Senators and Representatives in; Congress
from the commonwealth, who are enjoined to present
the eame to their respective houses, and to use their
best endeavors to procure at the next session of Cdn-j
gress, a repeal of the aforesaid unconstitutional and ob
noxiou acts. '.. :.!''
! 9. Rescived lastly, That the Governor of this com
monwealth be,; and is ' authorized and requested to
communicate the preceding resolutions to the' legisla-
tures.of the several States, to assure them : that this
commonwealth considers union for special national
mrposes, and particularly for those specified in their
ate federal compact, to be friendly to the peace, hap
piness, and prosperity of all the States that faithful
to the compact, according to the plain intent and
meaning in which it was understood and acceded to
by the several parties, it is sincerely anxious for its
preservation; that it does also believe, that to take
from the States all the powers of self-government,
and transfer them to a general and consolidated gov
ernment, without regard to the special government,
and reservations solemnly agreed to in that compact,
is hot for the peace, happiness, of prosperity of these
States. And that therefore, this commonwealth is .
determined, as it doubts not its co-states are, to sub
mit to undelegated and consequently unlimited powers
, in no man, or aody of men on earth; that if the acts
before specified should stand, these conclusions flow
.from them; that the general goVernment may place
any act they think proper on the list of crimes and
punish, it themselves, whether enumerated of not enu
merated, by the constitution cognizable by them, that
they may transfer its cognizance tb the President or
any cither person, who may himself be the accuser,
counsel, judge rand jury, whose suspicions may be the
evidence, his order the sentence, his officer the execu
tioner, and his breast the sole record of the transac
tion ; that a very numerous and valuable description
of the inhabitants of theseStates, being by this pre
cedent reduced as out-laws to absolute dominion of
. one" man, and the- barriers of the constitution thus
swept Jrom us aU ; no rampart now remains against
the passions and the power of a majority of Congress
to protect from a like exportation or rather grievous
punishment the minority 'of the same body, the legis
latures, judges,- governors, and counsellors of the
States,- nor their other peaceable inhabitants who may
venture to reclaim the constitutional rights and liber
ties of the States, and people, or who for other causes,
good or bad, may be obnoxious to the view 6r marked
by the suspicions bf the President? or to be thought
dangerous to his or their Elections or other ; interest,
public or .personal ; that the friendless alian has been
selected as the safest subject of a first experiment, but
the citizgn will soon follow, or rather has already fol-.
lowed; tor, already has a sedition act marked him as
a prey: That ! these and successive acts of ; the same
character,-unless arrested on the tbreshhold may j tend
to drive these States into revolution and blood, and
will furnish new calumnies against republican gov
ernments, and new pretexts for those who 'wish it to
be believed, that man cannot be governed but by a
rod ol iron ; that would be a dangerous delusion were
a confidence in the men of our . choice to silence our
fears for the safety of bur rights; .that confidence is
: everywhere, the parent of despotism, free government
is founded in jealousy and uot in confidence ; it is the
jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited,
constitution to bind down those . whom we are
obliged'to trust with power, thatour constitution lias
accordingly fixed the limits to which and no further
our confidence may go; and let the honest advocates
of confidence' read the alien and sedition acts, and say
if the constitution has not been wise in fixing limits
to the governments it created, and whether we should
be wise in destroying those limits ? Let him say what
'the government is, if it be not a tyranny; which the
men pi our choice have conferred on the President,
and the President of ourjehoice has assented to and
accepted' over the' friendly strangers, to whom the
..mild spirit of bur country -and its laws have pledged
hospitality and protec tion ; that the men of our choice
have more, respected the bare suspicions ot the rresi
,dent than the solid rights of innocence, the claims of
justification, the sacred fikce of truth, and the forms
and substance of law and justice.
In questions of power then let no more be said of
confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief
by the'.chains of the Constitution. That this common
wealth dci-s therefore call on its co-States for an ex
pression of their sentiments on the acts concerning
aliens, and for the punishment of certain crimes here
inbefore specified, plainly declaring whereby these acts
are or are not authorized by the federal compact. And
it doubts not that their sense will be so' announced as
to prove their attachment to limited government,
whether' gejneral of particular, and that the rights and
liberties of jtheir co-States will be exposed to no dan
gers by remaining embarked on a common bottom
with their-own. But they 'will concur with this com
monwealth in considering, tlie said acts as so palpably
against the Constitution as to amount to an undis
guised declaration, that the com pact is not meant to
be the measure of the power-bf the General Govern-
ment, but that it will proceed iri the exercise over -
these States of all powers whatsoever, that they will
view this as seizing the rights of the States and consol
idating them' in the hands, of the General Government,
with a power assumed to bind the States (not .merely
in case's made federal) but in all cases whatsoever, by
laws made, not with their consent, but ' by others
against their consent; and this ; would be to surrender
the form of government we have chosen, and live un

Virginia Resolutions, 1798-'99.
.1. RcwJiyd, That the General Assembly of Virginia ;
doth unequivocally express a firm resolution to main
tain and defend the Constitution of the United States,
and the Constitutitm of this State, against every ag
gression, either foreign or domestic, and that they will
support the Government of the United States in all the
measures warranted by the former. , j .. t
2. The General Assembly most solemnly declares a
warm attaclimeuti to tlie Union of the States to; main
tain which, it pledges all its powers; and that, fortius
end, it is their. duty to watch over aiid oppose every
infraction, of those principles, which constitute the
only basis of that .Uniou because a fai thful observance
of them al me can' secure it. existence and!, the public
happiness. ! . i i . ,
, 3. That this assembly does explicitly and peremp
Jtnily declare, that it views the powers tT the Federal
Gbverninent, as resulting from the compact, to which
the States are parties, as limited by the plain sense
and intention of the instrument Constit uting that cbm
pactr a-j norfurther valid than they are authorized by
the grants enumerated in thatjcpmpact and that in
case of a deliberate, palpable and dangcrjnus exercise
bf other powers, not 'granted by the said compact, the
States who are parties thereto, have the right and are
in a duty bound, to interpose, for arresting the pro
gress of the evil, and for maintaining-within their re
spective limitsy the authorities, rights and liberties ap
pertaining to them. ' '
4. That the General Assembly doth also express its
deep regret, that a spirit has in sundry instances, been
manifested by the Federal Government, to enlarge its
powers by forced construction of the constitutional char
ter which grant defines them; and that indications have
appeared of a design to expound certain general phrases
(which have been copied from the very limited power
in the former jarticles of cdnfederatfon, were the less
liable to be misconstrued,) so as to destroy the mean
ing and effect of the particular enumeration which
necessarily explains and limits the general phrases,
and so as to consolidate the states by degrees, into one
sovereignty,- the obvious tendency, arid inevitable re
sult of which Iwould be to transform the present Re
publican system of the United States into an absolute,
or at best, a mixed monarchy.
5- lhat the Oeneral Assembly doth particularly
pretest against the palpable and alarming infraction of
the constitution, ra the twoj late cases of the " Alien
and Sedition acts," passed -at the last session of Con
gress ; the first of which exercises a power no where
delegated to the federal government ; " and whiqh by
uniting legislative and judicial powers to those of the
executive, subverts the general principles of free gov
ernment, as well as, the particular organization and
positive provision of the federal .' constitution, and the
other of which acts exercises, in Ukemanrter, a power
not delegated by the constitution, but on the contrary
wexpressly and, positively forbidden by one of the
amendments thereto; a power more than any other,
ought to produce universal alarm ; because it is level
led againstthe right of freely examining public char
acters and nieasuresri' and ' of free , communication
among the people thereon,! which has ever .been justly
deemed the only ''effectual guardian -of every other
right.. ' ! .... - : U jy-J ; :. ."' ,;
v 6. That this Stateahaving by its convention, which
ratified the federal constitution, expressly declared,
that among other essential rights, "the liberty of con
science and o the press cannot be canceled, abridged,
restrained, or jmodified by any authority of the United
gtates," and from its dxtreme anxiety to guard these
rights from every possible .attack of sophistry and am
bition, having, with other, States recommended an
amendment for that purpose, w(hieh amendment was
in due time annexed to theebnstkution, it would mark
a reproachful inconsistency, and criminal degeneracy,
if an indifference were not shown to the most palpa
ble violation of one of the rights thus declared and se
cured; and tothe establishment of a precedent, which
may be fatal to the other. I ! ' ' ; ,-.'.
7i That the good people ; , of this commonwealth
having ever felt and continuing to feel, the most sin
cere affection for their brethren of the other States,
the truest anxiety for, estblishibg j and perpetuating
the union of Ml; and the piost scrupulous . fidelity to
that Constitution, 'which' is; 'the', pledge of mutual
friendsdip, arid the instrument of mutual happiness,
the General Assembly doth solemnly appeal tothe like
dispositions in other State in confidence that they
.will concur with this. cbmmoriwpalth in declaring, as
it does hereby declare, that tin ' acts aforesaid are un
constitutional; and that the-.' necessary aud proper
measures will be taken; by each,:- for cooperating with
, t n . . I . . I' ; ; . . ' l ii . ii
tnis otate in maintaining unimpaired, tne auinonues,
rights and liberties; reserved to the States respectively,
or to the people. -f I'--; ' M. '.! '
8i That the Governor 'desired to transmit a copy
of the foregoing' resolution to the executive authority
of the other States, with jaf request that the same be
communicated to the legislature thereof, and that a
copy be furnished to, each of the Senators, and Repre
sentatives, representing this; State- in the Congress of.
the United States. ! - . .
Black Republican Platform.
Resolved, That we, thk delegated representatives of
.the Republican electors dfjthe United States, in con
vention assembled, m thelctischorge ot the duty we
owe to our constituents and our country,: unite in the
following declaration
1. That the history of
four years has established
tv of the organ iztttion and
he. nation dkirjng the last
itlie propriety and necessi-
pef petuation ot the Repub-
lican party ;! and that the 'causes which called it into
existence are; permanent hi; their nature,' and now,
mure than ever before, dihiind L-it's peaceful and con
stitutional triumph. . . j. ': !; ;
2 That tlie maiutenaficfe 'of the Federal Constitu
tion' is essential to the" piescfyatioii of oi'ir- republican a
institutions, knd shall be ;preserved ; that we solemn
ly re-assert tlie self-ev,idon truths that all are endowed
by their Creator with evtahi inalienable rights, among
which are thjosc-of life, !lierty,;; and the puasuit of
happiness; that goveHiniqiits arc5 instituted anwng
men to securje the enjoyments of these rights. .f
... 3. That t(b. the Union of the States this natifc oives
its unirecedented incfeaseiiinV population, -its surpri
sing development-of material resources, its rapid aug
mentation oi wealth, its $appihess at .home and its
honor abroad, and Ave hblif in, ithliorrence all schemes
for disunion,! come from whatever, source they may ;
and we congratulate the'eounf ry that no llepublican
member of Qongress has littered or countenanced a
threat of disunion, so often made by, the Demixratic t
members pf Congress ; witlioiit, rebuke, and .with vap
plause froni their !politiai. associates; aud we de
nounce those threats bf diuuiou in case of a popular
overthrow of their ascendency, as denying the vital
principle of a free govern lftent, and as" an avowal of
contemplate treasoh,Vwhili it isthe imperative duty
of an indignant pecple lstr)nglyto rebuke and forever
silence. . ir . !;:! i-. 1 . '. .':
4. That the maintenance inviohtte of the rights of
the States, aiid especially he rights of each State to
order and control its own domestic institutions accord-
notmce the lawless invasion by an anned torce lrom (
any State o Territoryy hp rnattcjr under what pretext
as among.tlje gravesi ofvmes.;;-; .' ,j
5. That the present Dt'inix ratic Administration has
far exceeded our worst apprehensions in its measure
less subfcrvk'ncy. to the, exlutions of a sectional inter
est; as is esvecia'lly eyideniin 'its- desperate exertions
to force tlie ;iufamoi4 Lecljmptoii constitution 'upon
the protesting " people; of "Ivansas,. in; construing- the
personal relation betiveeh fnaster and servant to in
volve an unqualified I property in person;"-in its at
tempts at the eiiforcemente! very where, on land and
sea, through the inte'rventibh ,Vf Congress and the fed
eral courts, of the exfiiem:! pretentions of a .purely
local interest ;' a nd in its general and unvarying abuse
of the power intrusted, to it by a-confiding poeple.
6. 'That the people justly view; with alarm thereck
less extravagance which pervades every department
of the -federal government ; that; a return to rigid
economy aiid accountaWlify -is 'indispensable arrest
the system- bf plunder of tBe public treasury by fa
vorecl partisans ; while tlietpresent startlipg develop
ments of fraud and corrupioii at the lederal metrop
olis show that an entire chlnge' of the administration
is imperatively demauded.l 1" '
7. That the new dogma that thef'nstitution of its
owp force, carries slavery into any or all of the Ter
ritories of the United Statek is a dangerous political
.heresy, at variance with the fcxplicit provisions of
that instrument itself, witl the contemporaneous ex-
positiorj, and with legislative and judicial precedent,
is revolutionary in its tenencips,! and! subversive of
the peace and harmony of the country. !
8. That the normal condition -.f all the Territory of
the United States is that of freedom.: Tliat as our re
publican fathers, when they had abolished slavery in
all our'national territorv, 'ordained that no person
should be deprived of life, hberty or property, without
due process of law, it becomes our duty, by legislatKn
whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain
this provision of the Constitutidn against all attempts
to violate if And we deny the authority of Omgress,
of a territorial legislature, . ;or of any individuals, to
give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the
1 United States.' . ' ! 1 . '
9. lliat we brand the recent re-opening of the Af
rican Slave; trade under the color of our national flag,
aided bv perversions of judicial power, as a enmc
against hmnanitv, a burning shame to eur country and
ae; and we call upon Congress to take prompt and
efficient measures fof the total and final suppression
of that execrable traffic. 1. 5
10. That in the recent vetoes by their Federal gov
ernors of the acts of ihe legislatures of Kansas and
Nebraska, prohibiting slavery in those Territories, we
find a practical illustration of the boasted Democratic
principle of non-interyention and popular sovereignty,
embodied in the Kansas and Nebraska bill, and a de--
ing to its' uvj h judgment,, ejcli-lusjvely is ;essential to
the balance bf power.oii wi!icb the perfection and en
durance of lier political 'faifh -dopondsi And we de-
and fraud involved
,11. "That Kansas should.! of iritrht. bo immediatlv
admitted as a State, under! the constitution recently
formed and adopted by her people, and accepted by
the House of Representatives.! j f
.12. That while providing revenue for the support
of the general' government j by duties upon imposts,
sound policy requires such an adjustment of these
imposts as to encourage the development of the in
dustrial interest of the whole country ; and we-commend
the policy of national exchanges which secures
to tie working men liberal wages, to agriculture re
munerating prices, toj mechanics and manufacturers
an adequate reward tor their skill, labor and enterprise,
and to the nation commercial prosperity and independ
ence. " i " f : : . ' !' ::
13. That we protest against any' sale or alienation
-to others of the public lauds held .bv actual settlers.
and against any vievf of the Ifree homestead "policy
which regards the settlers as paupers or f supplicants
for public, bounty ; and we demand the passasre bv
Congress of the complete and satisfactory homestead
measure which has already, passed the. House.
.14. That the republican! partv is opposed to
any change in our naturalization laws, or any
State legislation by which the rights of citizenship
hitherto accorded tof emigrants from foreign lands
shall be abridged or Impaired, and in favor of giving
a full and efficient protection to the rights to all
classes, of citizens, ivhethet, native or naturalized,
at liome or abroad. ' I
15. That appropriations by Congress for river and
harbor improvement of a national character required
for the accommalatbh and! security of an existing
commerce, are authorized by the; Constitution and
justified by an obligatibn of the government to pro
tect the lives and property of its citizens. "
16; That a railroad, to thej Pacific Ocean is impera
tively demanded by Sthe intejrests of the whole coun
try ; that the federal government ougltt to render im
mediate and efficient aid in ts constrnction, and that,
as a preliminary thereto, a daily overland mail should
'.be promptly established. f" jj -. ,
