Nullification
Nullification The second Kentucky Resolutions introduced this term, but did not specify its scope or manner of operation, as a type of interposition. The earliest understanding of Nullification was evidently that state legislatures would pass laws blocking the enforcement of unconstitutional measures by US courts or marshals. In his South Carolina Exposition and Protest, John Calhoun revived the concept and suggested how state conventions might employ it.
