Expert Solution
Introduction

The Sedition Act was passed in the form of law during the late 1700s and stated that inciting or resisting rebellion against the government by citizens is illegal. 

The Resolutions, as a result, were passed as a consequence of the Sedation Act and stated that the states had the responsibility to declare the unauthorized bits of the constitution as unconstitutional.
