Notes

In an report drafted initially by James Madison, the majority in the Assembly addressed their constituents on their deliberations over the many petitions received in this session opposing the Alien & Sedition Acts, providing a constitutional justification for adopting the Virginia Resolution of December 1798 (1798.062). Only recorded copy held in the state archives at the Library of Virginia; imprint was reported by Hummel only; it was issued as a supplement to the Richmond Examiner of January 25, 1799 – the new semi-official newspaper published by the recently-appointed public printers, Meriwether Jones & John Dixon Jr.
