Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John C. Calhoun's doctrine of nullification argued that states had the right to declare federal laws unconstitutional and therefore null and void within their borders. He believed that the states, not the federal government, were the final authority on the constitutionality of laws. This idea was most famously applied in the Nullification Crisis of 1832 over tariffs imposed by the federal government.
