Answer
A
argued that President Adams should be removed from office.
B
wrote resolutions arguing that a state could ignore federal laws it believed to be unconstitutional.
C
voted to secede from the Union.

Explanation

In response to the Alien and Sedition Acts, Democratic-Republicans Thomas Jefferson and James Madison helped write the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. They argued that states could challenge or refuse to enforce federal laws they considered unconstitutional. They did not vote to secede, and the resolutions were not a call to remove President Adams from office.
