Citation in §History[edit]

From the article text, a section that was marked "citation needed" reads:

Similarly, the Massachusetts General Court approved^{[citation needed]} a committee report that stated: "Whenever the national compact is violated, and the citizens of this State are oppressed by cruel and unauthorized laws, this Legislature is bound to interpose its power, and wrest from the oppressor its victim."

The quote, "Whenever the national compact [...] its victim" closely mirrors the language of Madison's Virginia Resolution. It is found on page 7 of a document titled "1814 Legislative Bill. Report Of The Joint Committee Regarding Memorials And Remonstrances From Various Towns Regarding The Existing War And Embargo, Including Resolutions.", the full text of which is available in PDF from it's description and metadata page ^[1] in the State Library of Massachusetts's electronic archive containing the Acts and Resolves from 1692 to 2010. This proves the quote's accuracy and its inclusion in the 1814 report, but I do not know whether it's satisfactory as a citation for the report's approval by the Massachusetts General Court so I leave it here as a good place to start --WarEqualsPeace (talk) 16:00, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2009/10 comments[edit]

This is an interesting article but I am concerned as to who uses this term, "Principles of '98", and whether or not this is noteworthy enough for it's own article, or if maybe a shortened version of this can't just be included with the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions article? It almost seems redundant to me.74.131.51.34 (talk) 22:05, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The name is from an essay by Dr. Thomas E. Woods, an author and political philosophy scholar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.105.184.93 (talk) 18:58, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
