Answer:

The Doctrine of Nullification

  • Imagine if there was an instance where a power higher than yourself established a measure that was unfavorable toward you or a group of people. What if you could terminate that measure? We do not have to imagine; we can simply look at history. The notion of termination, or nullification, did exist. Let's see how it was applied throughout the history of the United States.

  • The Doctrine of Nullification suggested that states residing within the Union have the unilateral, inherent (natural, undocumented) right to void any law created by the federal government that could be deemed unconstitutional. The United States was formed on the basis of a general consensus among its individual states. Therefore, it is implied that under the theory of nullification, since the states are the foundation of the Union, they have the power to arbitrate and refute unconstitutional laws. Simply put, the states were believed to have the final say.

  • It is extremely important that you understand the difference between nullification and a legal challenge to the constitutionality of laws. The nullification doctrine maintained that the states have the right to overrule any unconstitutional laws, with the decision being unchallenged by any federal entity. A legal suit against an unconstitutional law is heard before the Supreme Court, with a decision being rendered. Nullification removes power from the Supreme Court and federal government.
