nullification crisis
State's rights
From 1820 to 1865, debates over nullification, protective tariffs, and the spread of slavery into new territories revolved around the constitutional issue of states' rights versus federal authority. Southern states argued for the right to nullify federal laws they deemed unconstitutional, particularly regarding tariffs and slavery. This conflict highlighted the tension between maintaining a unified nation and honoring state sovereignty, ultimately contributing to the sectional divisions that led to the Civil War. The struggles over these issues underscored differing interpretations of the Constitution and its implications for governance.
