THE ORIGINAL DBAFT PKEPABED BY THOS. JEFFEESOX.
1. Resetted, That the several States composing the
United States of America,- are not united on the
principles of the unhmited submission to the general
goveitnment ; but that by compact under the style
.and title of a Constitution for the tJnited States, and
of amendments thereto, they constituted a general
government for spcial purposes, delegated, to that
government certain . definite powers, reserving each
State to itself the residuary mass of right to their
owmlself-government, and that, whensoever the gen
eral government assumes undelegated powers, its acts
are Unauthoritative,, void, and of no force ; that to
this compact each State acceded as a State and is an
integral party ; that this government, created by this
compact, was not made the exclusive or nnal judge
of the extent of the-powers delegated to itself; since
that would have made its discretions and not the
Constitution, the measure of its powers ; but, that as
in allj other cases of compact, among partiea having
no common judge, each party ha an equal right to
jttdg for. itself as well as of ' infractions as of the
riiodciand measuri 1 of repress. . '
2. Resolved, That the Constitution of the United
Statejs having delegated to Congress, power to pun
ish treason, counterfeiting the securities and coin of
the United States, piracies and felonies committed on
the high seas, and offenses against the Jaws of na
tions and no other crimes whatever, arid it being
true, as a general principle,' and one of the amend
ments todhe Constitution having also declared, " that
the powers not delegated to the United States by the
.Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are
-reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, "
therefore, also, the same act of Congress,, passed oh
the i4th day of July, 1798, and entitled, " An act in
addiiion t6 the act-entitled an act for the punishment
of certain crimes against the United States ; " as also,
the pet passed by them on the 27th day of June,
179, entitled, "An act to 'punish frauds committed"
on the banks of the United States, " (and all other of
their acts' which assume to .create,, define, or punish
crimes others than- those enumerated in the constitu
tion are altogether void and of no force, and that the
powjr'tq create, -define, and punish such other' crimes
is reserved, and of right appertains solely and ex
clusi vely to the respective States, each within its own
Terrati ry. . ' - . "
3. Resolved, That it is true, as a general principle,
. and is also expressly declared by one of the amend
ments to the Constitution, that " the powers not dele
gate.!, to' the United States'' by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by'it to ' the States, are reserved to the
'States' respectively' or to 'the " people ;" and that no
power over the freedom of religion, freedom of speech,
or 'freedom of the press being delegated to the United
Statps by the Constitution, hot prohibited by it to the
Stat?s,- a.ll lawfiil' powers respecting the same did of
right remain," and were reserved to the States or peo
ple ; and thus -was ' manifested . their determination -to
re tan to themselves the right of judging how. far. the
licentiousness of speech ami of - the prfess .may be
abridged without lessening their useful . fredom J. :and
how far those abuses which cannot be separated from ,
their use should be tolerated, rather tlianthe' use be
1 destroyed, and thus , also 'they guarded' against all
abridgement by;the United States', '-of the .freedom of
relipous .principles and exercises, and' retained to
themselves' the right of protecting the same; as this,
stated by a law passed tn the general 'demand vf its
.'citi;:en.Sj had already protected them from all human
, restraints' or interference f;- and. that, in addition to
this. general principle and express declaration, another
afn more': special provision has been made by one of
the. amendments to the Constitution, which expressly
declares, that ' Longress . shalL make no laws, re-.
spefting an estiiblishment of religion, .or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of
speech," or of Jthe press," thereby guarding . in the
s'anie' sentence, ' and under the same words, the-
fretfciom'j of religiou, nf speech, and of the press, in-
asirLUchjlthat whatever violates either, throws down
the saiK'tukry which covers others, and that libels,
falsehoods, and defamation, equally with heresy and
false -religion, are withheld from the cognizance ipf
federal tribunals.' That- therefore the act of . the
Congress ofi.be United State's -passed on the 14th of
July, ,179jentitled..." An aet in addition to the act
entitled ah, act for tlie punishment of certain! crimes
against the United States," which does abridge the
freedom'-of .the press, is not law, but is altogether void
and ot.no force. , .' - . .
4.. it esolved,'. That .align friends are under the" ju
risdictioh and pV;tection! of the laws of the State
wherein they' are ; that iio power over theni has been
delegated to the United States, nor ' prohibited to the
individual states distinct trom their, power -over
citikens, and it Wing true, .as a general principle, and
one 01 tne amendments to., .the .constitution nayui.
alsb. declared that "tlie powers hot .delegated to the
Umted1 (States .'by the Qmstitution, . nor 'prohibited to
thd States, are. reserved to the States respectively, or
to he ieopte," the act of the Congress .of the United
Staltes, passed the- 22d day 'of June,! 1798, entitled
" An; act concermn'g . aliens, which assumes power
over aliens jiot delegated, by the Constitution, is -not
iaw, out is altogether void and 01 no rorce. .
. Resolved, ; That in addition to the general prin-.
ciple as well as the exjtress declaratmn, that powers
hoi 1 delegated are reserved, another and more special
provision inferred in the. Constitution, froi abundant
caution has declared, "that the migration or impof-
tatnon ot such, persons as any 01 the states now. exist-
ing snau thiuK proper to admit, shall not be pro
hibited by the' Congress, prior to the' year 1808.
That this commonwealth does admit the migration of
ailfcrt friends -described as the subject of the said act
Concerning aliens that a provision against prolubiting
their migration, is a provision against all acts equiva
lent thereto, or at would be nugatory; that to re;
mipye them -when migrated is equivalent to a prohi
bition of the migration, and is, therefore, contrary to
the said provision :of the? Constitution, and void
utder. the protection of the laws of this common
wealth on his failure to obey, the simple order of the
Pj-esident, to depart out of the United States, as is
uftdertaican by the said act, entitled, "An act con
cerning aliens,"-is contrary .to the Constitution, one
arpendment in' which has provided, that' "no person
shall be deprived of their liberty without due process
01; iaw, and mat another navmg provided " that in
al criminal prosecutioris, the accused shall enjoy the
right of a public trial by 'an impartial jury,' to be in-foi-med
as to the nature and causejof the accusation, to
be confronted! with the witnesses against him, to have
compulsory process for obtaining . witnesses in : his
iavor, and, to have assistance .or counsel for his de
fense the same act undertaken to authorize the
President to remove a person out .of the United States
wuio is under' the protection of the law, on- his own
suspicion, without jury, without public trial, without
Cvnfrontationof the witnesses against him, without
having witnesses in his favor, without defense',;' with
pat coujiseh is contrary to those provisions, also of the
constitution, is therefore not a law, .but utterly-void,
ahd ot no iorce.
That transferring the power of judging any person
Who is under the protection ot the laws, from the
courts to the Presidents of the United States as is un
dertaken bv the same act concerning aliens, is asjainst
Lthe article of - the constitution which providf s that
"(the judicial .power ot the United States shall be vest
ed in the' courts: the nidges of which shall hold their
office during good behavior," and the said ,act is void
fr that reason also; and it is further to be noted that
tpis transfer of the judiciary power is to that magis
trate of the general government who already possess
aI the executive, and -.qualified negative m all the le
gpslative power, . . ' I
7. Resolved, jThat the constnictioh applied by the
general government (as is evident by sundry of tlieir
proceeding) to those parts of the constitution of the
United States, which delegate to Congress power! to
lav and collect taxes, duties, imports, excises; -to
pay the debts, and provide for the common defense,
and general warfare of the United States, and to make
all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carry
ing into execution: the powers- vested by 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 theconstitution r
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 uriiimited
power, nor a part so to be taken, as to destroy the whole
residue of the instrument : That the, proceeding of
the general government j under color of those articles,
will be a fit and necessary, subject for revisal and cor
rection at a time of greater tranquility, . while those
. Specified in the preceding resolutions "call for immediate
redress. ;- ! .-;
8. Resolved, .That the preceding resolutions be trans
mitted to the Senators and Representatives in Congress
from the commonwealth', who are enjoined to present
the rame to ! their respective houses, and to use their
best endeavors to procure at the next session of Con
gress, a repeal of the aforesaid unconstitutional and ob
noxious actsj . . "l ! ' i- -'!.'' .
9; Resolved lastly, That the Governor of this com
monwealth be,, and is' authorized and requested to
communicate the preceding resolutions to th.Jegisla-,
tures of the several States,: to assure them that this
commonwealth considers union for special national'
purposes, and particularly for those specified in their
late federal compact, to be frieri'dly to the peace, hap
pmess, and prosperity ot all the States that taithlul
to the compact, according! to the plain intent and
meaning iii which if 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 theni to a general and consolidated gov
ernment, without regard to the special government,
and reservations solemnly agreed to in that compact,
is not for the peace, happiness, or prosperity of these
States. And that therefore, this, commonwealth is
determined, as it doubts hot 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 ; j that .the; general government may place
any act they think, proper on the list of crimes and
punish it themselves, whether enumerated or not enu-
merated, by: the constitution cognizable by them, that
1! - ' 1 - j.' . j1 T .1 . 1
they may transier lis. cognizance to tne. r resident or
any other person, who may himself be the accuser,
counsel, judge and 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 j theseStates', being by this pre
cedent reduced as" out-laws to absolute dominion of
one man, and the barriers of the constitution thus
swept irom -us an; no rampart now remains against
the passions and the power ot a majority of Congress
to protect from.a like exportation or rather grievous
punishment: the minority of the same body, the legis-
laiures, .juuges, governors, anu uouuseiiors ui iiiti
States, nor their other peaceable inhabitants who may
venture to reclaim the constitutional rights and liber
ties of the States, arid people, or who for other causes,
good or bad, mayipe obnoxious to the view or marked
by the suspicions of '.the President, or-to be thought
aana;erous to-111s or. .ineir elections or otner mterestj
public or personal; that the. friendless alian has been
selected as the safest' subject of a first'experimenf, but
the citizen will soon" follow, or rather has already fol
lowed; fori already has ai sedition act marked him as
a prey: .That these and successive acts of1 the same
character,- nnlCss arrested on the threslihold may 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 of "iron j that would be a dangerous delusion were
a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our
fears for the-safety of our rights; that confidence is
everywhere' the parent of despotism, free government
Hs founded in jealousy and hot in confidence ; it is the
jealousy and not commence which prescribes nrmtea
constitution- to . bind- down those whohv . we are
v obliged to trust with power, that our constitution has.
jcordmglv fixed the limits to which "and :no further
our confidf?nc"may go; and let the, honest' ,ad vacates
of confidence read the alien and sedition acts, ami say
if the constitution has not been wise in . fixiug limit
to the governments it created, and whether, we should
be- wise in destroying those limits ? Let him sa1what
the: government is, if it be not a tyranny : Avhicfi the'
men of our choice have conferred on 'the President
and the President of our choice; has assented t and
accepted over the friendly strangers, to whorli the
mild spirit of our country audits laws have. pledged
hospitality and protection ;fhat the men of our choice
have more respected the bare suspicions of the Presi
dent than the solid rights of innocence, the claims of
justification, the sacred force of truth, and, the: forms
and substance of law and mstice.
. Iri.miestions 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 does 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 Iiere
inbefore specified, plainly declaring whereby these act's
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 general or particular, and that the rights and1
liberties of their co-States will be exposed to no dan
gers by remaining 'embarked on a common bottom'
with their own. But they will concur with thiscom
man wealth in considering the said acts as so palpably
against the Constitution as toamount to an undis
guised declaration, that the compact is not meant, to
'be the measure of the. power of the General , Govern
ment, but that it will proceed m the exercise over
these States of all powers whatsoever. That they: will
view this as seizing the rights of the States and ronsoi-,
idatingthern in the hands of the General Government,
with a pOwer assumed to bind the States (not merely'
in cases made federal) but. in all caseswhatsoever, by
laws made, not with their consent,7 but by others
against their consent; and this would be to surrender
the form of government we have chosen, and live un
der one deriving its powers from Its will, and not from
our authority; and that the co-States recurring to their

' r Virginia Resolutions, 1798-'99. . ;
1. Resolved, That th6 General Assembly of Virginia
doth unequivocally express a firm resolution to. main-,
tam and defend the Constitution of the United States,
and the Constitution 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 ; ' :
warm attachriient to the Union of the States, to main-1
nun vuicu7ig pieugesan us powers ; anatnat, lor mis
end, it s. their duty to ; watch over and oppose every
infractipiy of those principles, which constitute the
only basis of that Union, because a faithful observance
,0 theni alone can secure its existence and the public,
happiness. ' -i '' . - '
.. 3 .That, this assembly does explicitly and peremp
torily declare, that it views the powers of the Federal
Government, as resulting from the compact, to which
the States are parties, as limited bv the. main sense
-and intention of the instrument cons'titutinsr that'eom-
1 -rr,vf Bi,'fnal. i:j ii .1 . .. ' ..1 : 3 l.
'o.v.v n.a uij 4iiiujrr vHiiu Liuui uiey are autnonxeu uy
the grants enumerated in that compact : and that in
case of a deliberate palpable and dangerous exercise
of 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 tlie evil, and for maintaining within their re
spective limits, the authorities, rights, and liberties ap
pertaining to them., j j ; '' H
- 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 adesign to expound certain general phrases
(which have been copied from the very limited power
in the. former! articles of confederation," were thd less
liable to be misconstrued,)- so as to destroy the mean
ing 4nd effect M the particular ; enumeration which
necessarily explains 'and . limits the general phrases.
anu suns w (xmsouoate tne otates Dy aegrees, into one
sovereignty, the obvious , tendency, and inevitable re
Bult of which would be to transform the present Re
publican system of the United States into an absolute
or at best, a mixed monarchy. 2 , -
, 6. I fiat the General . Assembly dota particularly
protest against the; palpable and alarming infraction of '
the constitution in the two late cases of - the " AlieH
and Sedition acts," passed at the last session of 'Con
gress, the first Of I which exercises a power nowhere
delegated to the 1 federal . government ; and which by'
uiuuug icgisiauye jana juaiciai, powers to tnoseoi the
executivei, subverts the general principles of free gov-
eruiueni,. as jweif as toe ; particular -orgamzationv ana
positive provisiob of the 'federal constitution, and the
their of which acts exercises, in like manner," a poWef
not delegated by the, constitution, but dn the. contrary
expressly and positively' forbidden -by one' of. the,
amendment thereto ; a'-; rwwe
ought to produce, umversal alarm -? because jt w . level-'
led against the right of freely, examining public -char
acters and .. mejisures, . and of .free'- communication
among the people thereon, which has ever been justly
deemed the only effectual sruardian of - every ' other .
righV- .- i-:l:r.f:-.i,.- . ...

ratified "thej federal constitution, expressly declared,
that 'among1 othr essential "rights"tne Uberty.of con-
science andjof tiie press cannot 'be canceled abfidgecf,
restrained, or modified by any authority of the United'
gtates," and froin its extreme anxiety f to guard these
rights from: evejry possible attack- of sophistry and am
bition, havmg, I with other States recommended an
amendment forj that. purpose, which amendment was
in due time annexed to the constitution, it would. marK
a reproachful inconsistency, and criminal degeneracy,
if ail mdifferende were not shown to the most palpa
ble yiolatioh of one of the rights thus declared and se
cured;' and to the establishment of a precedent, , which
may be fatal td the other. . ' '
7 i That the! good people of this commonwealth
cerej affection 'for their brethren of . the other States,'
the 'truest anxiety for establishing - and perpetuating
the tmion of alj; and the most scrupulous fidelity to
that C!onstitu4on, I which . is- the pledge of mutual
friehdsdip, and the instrument of mutual liappiness,
the General Assembly doth solemnly appeal to the like
disposition in -other States in confidence that they
will5 concur with this commonwealth in' declaring, as
it does hereby Ideclare, that the acts aforesaid are un'
constitutional; j and that, the necessary and proper
measures will be tikeh .by each, for cooperating with
this; State in mamfeaining unimpaired, the authorities '
rights and liberties reserved to the States respectively
or to tnejaeope. . v . . ,
8. That! thej Governor be desired 0 transmit atopy
of the'foregoirfg resolutions to the executive authority
of the other States, with a request , that the same-be.
communicated, to the Legislature thereof, and that a
copy be furnished to each of the Senators and Repre

I 8. that tne normal condition -of all the Territory of
the United States is that of freedom, That as oTr je
pubhean fathers, when they had abolished slavery m
albeur national territory, ordained, tliat ' no jperson'
should be deprived of life, liberty .or property, without
due process of law, It becomes our duty, by legislation
whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain
