When two parties agree on something and exchange correspondence in relation to a contract, one party or both will state in writing what they agree to. Virginia did that. Since the Feds didn't object, silence is construed as acceptance under the law. Nonsense. The only question before Virginia was ratification of the Constitution. Nobody accepted the Virginia Ratification, they accepted the Constitution. And the Constitution does not allow for the states to resume powers granted to Congress.

Well, we will just have to disagree. Do you seriously believe the people of Virginia took the time to write such a document if they thought it wouldn't be taken seriously. They were ratifying the Constitution with conditions.
