Abstract
In 1798, Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, which gave the president the power to deport or imprison undesirable noncitizens, and which made "any false, scandalous, and malicious" criticism of the government a crime. Outraged by this infringement of the constitutional guarantees of free speech and press, Virginia and Kentucky "resolved" that individual states have the power to declare federal laws unconstitutional and to declare such laws "null and void" within their borders.
1798年，国会通过了《外国人和煽动叛乱法》(Alien and Sedition act)，赋予总统驱逐或监禁不受欢迎的非公民的权力，并将“任何虚假、诽谤性和恶意的”对政府的批评定为犯罪。弗吉尼亚州和肯塔基州对这种侵犯宪法保障的言论和新闻自由的行为感到愤怒，于是“决定”各州有权宣布联邦法律违宪，并宣布此类法律在其境内“无效”。
