it was a danger because if the nullification was passed, then whatever law the government had put on a state and then a state doesn't like the law, they can just use the nullification. this would lessen the power of the government and eventually, the U.S. would separate on their own. *note* I'm not sure of this answer, but i believe it's one of the reasons. im only an 8th grader anyways. -SCL 2010 graduate! whoopie!

Webster and Jackson opposed nullification because they believed that it undermined the authority of the federal government and threatened the stability of the Union. They argued that only the federal courts, not individual states, had the authority to interpret and enforce the Constitution. They believed that nullification would lead to the disintegration of the Union and ultimately weaken the power of the federal government.
