The states already have the power to make their own laws today. However, if it conflicts with laws passed by the federal government, the Federal Laws are supposed to supersede the states laws. Their has always been a conflict concerning states rights as opposed to federal laws.

A current example is laws passed by various states legalizing recreational use of marijuana. According to the federal government, its use is still illegal. A more recent example (2017) are regulations involving deportation of illegal immigrants by the federal government being countered by local governments refusing to comply.

Where did Jeffersonians believe the power to strike down laws as unconstitutional should reside?

Jeffersonians believed that the power to strike down laws as unconstitutional should reside with the states, rather than the federal judiciary. They argued that states had the right to interpret the Constitution and could nullify federal laws they deemed unconstitutional, reflecting a commitment to states' rights and a limited federal government. This perspective was rooted in their emphasis on popular sovereignty and the belief that local governments best understood the needs of their citizens.
