Excerpt from Great Debates in American History, Vol. 5 of 14: From the Debates in the British Parliament on the Colonial Stamp Act (1764-1765) To the Debates in Congress at the Close of the Taft Adminstration (1912-1913), State Rights (1798-1861), Slavery (1858-1861) The choice of Kentucky as the place where the scene Should be enacted is somewhat remarkable. It would have been entirely inexplicable upon the earlier theory of the origin of the resolutions, which attributed the idea primarily to Mr. Jefferson himself, and sought without success the actual mover of the resolutions in George Nicholas, one of J efferson's most devoted followers, who had found a too early grave a few months before. Many efforts have been made to explain why resolutions of this Character were introduced first in the Kentucky legislature. The true solution is certainly to be found in the personality of John Breckinridge, the mover, his active interest in the matter itself, and the probability that he initiated the whole plan of campaign.
