Abstract

When most people hear the word "Kentucky," they think of Daniel Boone, kindly Colonels, bourbon and branchwater, and, of course, the Derby. But constitutIonal scholars - or at least some of us - are an odd lot. When I hear the word ''Kentucky,'' the first things I think of are the 1798 Virginia and Kentucky Resolves.
