Accepted Answer

### First Question (Which of the following... Federal Government?):
# Brief Explanations:
To determine which arguments claimed states held supremacy over federal laws, we analyze each option:
- **The Washington Resolution of 1795**: Not related to state supremacy over federal laws.
- **Nullification**: The idea that states can nullify (declare void) federal laws they deem unconstitutional, asserting state supremacy.
- **The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798**: These resolutions (written by Jefferson and Madison) argued for states’ rights to interpret the Constitution and nullify federal laws they saw as unconstitutional, asserting state supremacy.
- **Secession**: The act of a state leaving the Union, which implies a state’s right to supersede federal authority by withdrawing.

So the correct options are those advocating state supremacy over federal law.
# Answer:
B. Nullification
C. The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798
D. Secession

### Question 23 (What did the Supreme Court rule in Prigg v. Pennsylvania?):
# Brief Explanations:
In *Prigg v. Pennsylvania* (1842), the Supreme Court ruled on the Fugitive Slave Act and state “Personal Liberty Laws” (Northern laws protecting escaped slaves). The Court held that Pennsylvania’s “Northern Liberty laws” (which sought to prevent enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act) were unconstitutional. The other options are unrelated: reimbursing the federal government for Pittsburgh, presidential term limits, or state enforcement of federal laws are not issues in this case.
# Answer:
A. Northern “Liberty laws” were unconstitutional
