the central constitutional issue over the nullification crisis was

• executive overreach
• citizenship
• states rights
• slavery

Explanation:

The Nullification Crisis (1832-1833) centered on South Carolina's claim that it could nullify federal tariff laws it deemed unfair, which directly raised the question of the balance of power between the federal government and individual states, i.e., states' rights. The other options are not the core constitutional issue here: executive overreach refers to excessive executive branch power, citizenship was not the focus, and slavery was a separate, later escalating sectional issue.

Answer:

states' rights
