[QUOTE="bellesotico, post: 550071, member: 15614"] [b]Re: what would you do[/b] You are correct. Amendments 10 and 14 of the Bill of Rights. The issue of States Rights controversy heated up with the 'tariff of abominations', a congressional action that ordered an increase of rates on raw goods. John C. Calhoun responded by anonymously penning the Southern Exposition. From this the Southern States adopted the Nullification Ordinance which said the Union was a compact between states and they had the power to repeal power to nullify a federal law that exceeded powers given to Congress in the constitution. Calhoun tried making his case using the arguments laid out in the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions. The counter argument made was that the States entered into a CONTRACT not a compact upon the ratification of the Constitution. It was also the contention that the Supreme Court was the final arbitrator of the law. This was supported by Marbury v Madison, the case that sets the precedent for judicial review. [/QUOTE]
