The political agenda of the old liberals was not
merely to limit the size of the government but also its
scope. That means that lower orders of government have
rights against higher ones. In the American context,
that means that the state can tell the federal
government that its laws are invalid - that is, a state
can nullify a federal law..

In Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in
the 21st Century, historian and New York Times
bestselling author Thomas E. Woods, Jr. explains not
only why nullification is the constitutional tool the
Founders envisioned, but how it works.

The book shows how state nullification has been used
on behalf of free speech and free trade, and against
unconstitutional searches and seizures, federalization
of the militia for offensive purposes, the prospect of
military conscription, and the worst outrages of the
fugitive-slave laws.

The point of the book is not that the states are
necessarily wise or legitimate -- they are states, after
all -- but that competing jurisdictions are likely to
give liberty more breathing room than a single, giant
one. After all, Woods reminds us, liberty developed in
Western Europe because a multiplicity of small
jurisdictions made it easy for people to flee oppressive
places -- thereby depriving them of their tax base --
and settle in more liberal ones.

The idea was not incidental to the American
experience. Woods shows that it was central to the
structure of American liberty. Without it, the entire
population is subject to the whim of federal masters.
With it, there is a check on power. Woods thereby argues
that the idea must be revived in an effort to reclaim
liberty.

* How the states were meant to be checks against
federal tyranny—and how a growing roster of governors
and state attorneys general are recognizing they need to
become that again
* Why the Tenth Amendment to the
Constitution reinforces the rights of states to nullify
unconstitutional laws
* Why it was left to the states
to uphold the simple principle that an unconstitutional
law is no law at all
* Why, without nullification,
ordinary Americans will continue to suffer the
oppression of unjust, unconstitutional laws
* PLUS
thorough documentation of how the Founding Fathers
believed nullification could be applied

Nullification is not just a book—it could become a
movement to restore the proper limits of the federal
government. Powerful, provocative, and timely,
Nullification is sure to stir debate and become a
constitutional handbook for all liberty-loving
Americans.
