The problem of how much power the federal government should have has been a problem in history for ages. This can be seen after the Revolutionary War with the Articles of Confederation. Many people were scared of the federal government obtaining power after the Revolutionary War, as a lot of people did not want to have what happened with Great Britain happen again.
Amendment X, or the Tenth Amendment, states that the "<em>powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people</em>."

In many ways, the Nullification Crisis was a rehearsal for the political and constitutional crisis of the 1850s that would culminate in the American Civil War.
