You may be aware of the letter that the Continental Congress sent to King George pledging their desire to preserve their union with England and to settle their differences peaceably. The summer of 1775, after Lexington and Concord. King George didn't buy it and declared the Colonials to be rebels and traitors.
I'd put the wording of the Resolves in the same vein. An attempt to smooth over some very real differences when conflict was already baked into the cake. George Washington didn't buy the Resolves desire to preserve the union and could see that the Compact Theory of Jefferson and Madison implied nullification and probably disunion.
I don’t see those two as equivalent. It was a different set of circumstances. This was a case of trying establish the limits of a new constitutional republic, not try to petition a parliamentary monarch across an ocean for a return of the status quo.
The formation of this new Constitution was a series of compromises in and of itself, and incidents like the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, McCulloch v. Maryland and other proceedings were all part of the growing pains of trying to establish the limits of the new Constitution. Testing the limits is a far cry from giving up on it which I don’t see the 1798-9 resolutions suggesting.
