Answer 1

By definition, the theory of nullification revolves around the concept that the state, or mainly the judicial branch, has this power to nullify or remove a law or bill when it is proven to be unconstitutional. In addition, the nullification has its great support to South Carolina which was then confronted by former President Jackson.
