Voyages on the Middle Passage were a large financial undertaking, and they were generally organized by companies or groups of investors rather than individuals.

The Kentucky Resolution of 1799 added that when the states determine that a law is unconstitutional, nullification by the states is the proper remedy. The Virginia Resolutions of 1798 refer to "interposition" to express the idea that the states have a right to "interpose" to prevent harm caused by unconstitutional laws. The Virginia Resolutions contemplate joint action by the states. alien and sedition acts = The acts increased the residency requirement for American citizenship from five to fourteen years, and allowed the president to imprison or deport aliens which were considered "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States". They also restricted speech which was critical of the federal government.

This is true because a reader who has to "read between the lines" of a text feels more involved with the characters and their problems. Two works of literature that support this truth are The Crucible by Arthur Miller and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. In The Crucible…
