I'd like to add that the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions were submitted to the other states for approval and rejected.

Which doesn't enter into the fact the federal House responded to the resolutions and what Madison wrote in his report.

I'm aware of Washington's position, but I was looking forward to reading the text concerning where 'Madison had tried to explain to Jefferson that this was wrong'

Thank you for pointing out the typo concerning the amendments in my previous post. It is appreciated

“Thank you for pointing out the typo concerning the amendments in my previous post. It is appreciated”.

Actually I wasn’t trying to point out a typo. I ain’t that picky. Did Madison actually write “12th amendment”? I thought it might be an historical anomaly along the lines of “One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind”.
