Yes, some states practiced the nullification doctrine, most notably South Carolina in the 1830s. They asserted the right to invalidate Federal Laws they deemed unconstitutional, particularly in response to tariffs that they believed harmed their economies. The doctrine was a significant aspect of the broader debate over states' rights versus federal authority, but it ultimately faced strong opposition from the federal government, leading to the Nullification Crisis. The concept has since been largely discredited and is not widely practiced today.
