Richmond Times-Dispatch
Statf Writer
RICHMOND, Va., ijP) When
the present session of the Virginia
Legislature which converted here
Wednesday, examines the possi
bility of adopting a resolution of
interposition, it will be examining
an ancient theory of government,
a theory almost as old as' the
Union itself.
Interposition was used in the
early days of the Union as a weap
on in the battle of states rights vs
federal rights.
NEVER ENDED
Because that battle has never
ended, there are those today who
advocate the use of interposition
as a weapon in the controversy
over the decision of the U. S. Su
preme Court in the school segre
gation cases. f ' . '
An examination of the use of
interposition in the distant past
reveals the effectiveness of the
resolutions has been somewhat in
conclusive. It seems probable that
adoption of an interposition reso
lution by the General Assembly
in the 1956 session would lead to
a somewhat inconclusive result.
Perhaps, at this point, the
strongest effect of an interposition
resolution insofar as what it
would ultimately accomplish in re
lation to the anti-segregation de
cision would be the formal rec
ognition it would give to the views
of those who disagree with the Su
preme Court ruling.
One of the first things advocates
of the doctrine point out is this:
An interposition resolution
should not be adopted in the seg
regation controversy because the
controversy involves segregation
or even because the Supreme
Court ruled against segregation.
SIGNIFICANT
In no way, advocares contend,
does interposition imply defiance
of the Supreme Court. It is sig
nificant, however, that 1 an over
whelming majority of those sup
porting the . interposition doctrine
in Virginia also seem to oppose
the doctrine that racial segrega
tion in public schools in uncon
stitutional. ,
Say interpositionists: Interposition-is
a weapon in the state vs
federal power struggle. It just so
happens that in this year, the
166th of the Constitution, the lines
of the state vs federal power bat-
(See IS IT, page' 3.)
Iwh
at's Interposition?
You'd Better Learn
Interposition is a term that is receiving more sig
nificance everyday in Southern America. .
It is a word that is connected ..with segregation and
integration. According to Southern School News, an
objective, fact-finding monthly newspaper covering the
segregation situation, "political figures in at least four
southern states . . . are considering resolutions of 'in
terposition' as a means of evading the U. S. Supreme
Court's decisions against segregation in the public
schools . . ." , - .
What does interposition mean? A short definition,
found in the Virginia Resolution of 1798, says the states
have a right to interpose with the federal government
for arresting the progress, of the evil" and to maintain
their rights. A more .complete definition will be found
on Page Three.
Interposition goes way back to the time of Madison
and Jefferson, and untir recently has been thought of as
a principle rather than a modern political too?. But it
appears to be coming back into view in the light of the
Supreme Court decision.
Featured here and on Page Three are two stories
by L. M. Wright Jr., staff writer for The Richmond (Va.)
Times-Dispatclr. The stories were made available to The
Daily Tar. Heel by the Associated Press. The third story
is expected to be published tomorrow.
t. Other facts on interposition ana the segregation
integration situation may be found on Pae Three.
Jefferson
Advocated
Doctrine
RICHMOND. Va., (P) Advo
cates of the doctrine of interpo
sition cite historical precedent as
one of their strongest arguments.
In so doing, they are able to claim
some prominent historical figures
as predecessors, among them
Thomas Jefferson and James Mad
ison. -
Virginia and Kentucky adopted
resolutions of interposition in 1798
as protests against the alien and
sedition acts.
To understand the nature of the
protests, it is necessary to under
stand something of the nature of
the acts.
DEPORTATION
Congress, in 1798, made it law
ful for the president to order the
deportation of aliens "he shall
judge dangerous to the peace and
safety of the United States." In a
companion measure, "to write,
print, utter or publish . . . any
fals, scandalous and malicious
writings against the government
of the United States, or either
house of the Congress ... or the
president, with intent to defame
.. or to bring them, or either of
them, into contempt or disrepute"
was made . a crime punishable by
up to two years in prison or a fine
up to $2,000. ,
These acts were passed only
seven years after the states had
ratified the Bill of Rights, the first
10 amendments to the Constitu
tion., Among those amendments! (See KENTUCKIANS, page 3.)
was one which, in part, said:
"Congress shall make no law . . .
abridging the freedom of speech
or of the press "
LANGUAGE
Clearly the alien and sedition
acts were not compatible with the
language of the First Amendment.
What to do?
A delegation of Kentucky legis
lators approached Jefferson, then
vice president of the United States.
Jefferson agreed to draft a resolu
tion for the Kentucky Legislature.
His only condition was that his
authorship not be disclosed.
The resolution was adopted by
the Kentucky Legislature Nov. 16,
1798. It said, in part:
"That the government created
by this compact the Constitution
was not made the exclusive or
final judge of the extent of the
powers delegated to itself, since
that would have made its discret
ion, and not the Constitution, the
measure of its powers; but that
Constitution; 1 Prevision Commis
sion, was a delegate to the State
Student Legislature and was on the
orientation committee.
Lawrence Matthews was elected
speaker pro-tempore by acclama
tion. Speaking to the assembly af
ter his election, he expressed the
hope the quality of debate would
improve, and called upon repre
sentatives to use more "emotion"
when speaking.
John Brooks, a freshman, was
voted in to the office of parlia
mentarian by acclamation. He ex
pressed confidence he would be
able to fulfill the position satis
factorily, and stated that he would
try to keep a close watch on pro
ceedure. Rep. Jess Stribling, a freshman,
was voted into the office of critic
from a large field of candidates
Rep. MacGalliard was elected
sgt.-at-arms in a close and lively
battle with Rep. Bitty Dent, v,ho
