Resolutions of
Virginia, disapproved
of. |
No. 25.
RESOLVED, That the general assembly of Maryland
highly disapprove
of the sentiments and opinions contained in the resolutions

doctrine of the competency of a state government, by
a legislative act, to declare an act of the federal government unconstitutional
and void, and as they contain a request for our co-operation
with them in obtaining a repeal of laws, which, at this crisis,
we believe are wise and politic. |
