a fast-sailing warship
A
frigate
B
Kentucky and Virginia resolutions
C
states’ rights
D
nullify
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -frigate, any of several different types of small and fast warships, usually either the square-rigged sailing ships of the 17th–19th century or the radar-and sonar-equipped antisubmarine and air-defense ships of World War II and after.

Detailed explanation-2: -A clipper is a sailing vessel designed for speed, a priority which takes precedence over cargo carrying capacity, or building or operating costs. It is not restricted to any one rig, and while many were fully rigged ships, others were barques, brigs or schooners.

Detailed explanation-3: -Edit. This four-masted (two masts up, and two down) Frigate-class vessel trades firepower for speed, and serves throughout the frontier as a fast patrol ship. While the Fast Frigate cannot match the firepower of standard designs in the same hull class, it is almost as fast and manoeuvrable as a sloop.
