D. Do states have the power to declare a federal law unconstitutional?
Step-by-step explanation:
The power between the states and the national government throughout history has always been quite messy. Deciding who has the power to do what and dividing the power has always been a prominent issue. The Nullification Crisis of 1832 has to do with this idea.
The North and the South were split on liking tariffs. The North preferred them, as they had more factories and tariffs would exclude foreign competition. On the other hand, the South despised tariffs. Tariffs would make foreign products more expensive and would make foreign countries not want to buy their products. This was a huge issue.
Eventually, the South had enough of the tariffs and declared that they were null, void, and unconstitutional. They wanted nothing to do with the tariffs, even though it was a federal law, they still said it was unconstitutional.
This ties in with the idea of states having the power to declare a federal law unconstitutional. Even if the South didn't have the right or the power to do so, they did it anyway.
