needed, very strong one is reflected in the an
swers to the resolutions by the States which
protested against them. The main objection of
these, beyond a few general complaints of the
inAammatory tendency of the resolutions, was
directed against the assumed authority of State
legislature to declare law of the United States
Unconstitutional, which they pronounced an I'M
warrantable interference with the exclusive iu-
risdicton of the Supreme Court of the United
States Had the resolutions been regarded as
avowing and maintaining right in an individual
State to arrest by force the execution of law
of the United States, it must be presumed that
it would have been conspicuous object of their
denuncation.
