    The correct answer is B) supported the idea of state's rights and nullification of federal law.

    The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions supported the idea of state's rights and nullification of federal law.

    Two prominent figures of the US politics of that time wrote in private the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions: James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, in 1798. These were their responses to the Alien and Sedition Acts because they considered that the acts were unconstitutional. The resolutions allowed the states to exert the right to nullify any law that people considered against their interests.
