Question
a disagreement over the meaning and interpretation of which part of the constitution led to the nullification crisis?
a. the commerce clause
b. the equal protection clause
c. the supremacy clause
d. the necessary and proper clause
The Nullification Crisis involved a dispute over whether states could nullify federal laws. The Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Clause 2) establishes that federal law is supreme over state law. The crisis centered on states' rights vs. federal authority, with the Supremacy Clause's interpretation at the core. The Commerce Clause deals with trade, Equal Protection (14th Amendment, post - crisis), and Necessary and Proper relates to implied powers, not nullification.
