Jefferson favored the right of a state to nullify its compact with the union should the federal government attempt to dismantle the sovereign rights of the individual state. He would have been right there with Jefferson Davis.
Thomas Jefferson believed in the concept of nullification, which held that individual states had the right to nullify or invalidate Federal Laws they deemed unconstitutional. He saw it as a necessary check on federal power and a means to protect states' rights. However, he also believed that nullification should only be used as a last resort and that it was preferable to resolve disputes through peaceful means.

Andrew Jackson opposed the idea of nullification during the Nullification Crisis. He firmly believed in the supremacy of the federal government and saw nullification as a threat to the Union. Jackson argued that states did not have the right to disobey federal laws and emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong central government.
This doctrine taught that any state could nullify a law of the United States that was contrary to the Constitution as they understood it.
