Adrienne Mcguire · Answer 1

Nullification proposed that the states had the right to decide which national laws states would accept.

Explanation:

With a view to dispense greater power to the states and to maintain their autonomy, John Calhoun proposed that the state governments should be allowed to choose which federal laws did they not want to implement in their states. The demands put up by the theory were never processed by any federal courts of the US as it is deemed that such a law would prove to be threat to the integrity of the nation.
