Question

How was the South Carolina of Nullification a defense of states’ rights?

Answer 1

Calhoun advanced the position that a state could declare a national law void.  The members of the South Carolina legislature defended the rights of the states against the federal government.  The South Carolina Ordinance of Nullification (SCON) was enacted into law on November 24, 1832 (185 year, 1 month, 25 days, 19 hours, 6 minutes, 13 seconds ago)
