Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of nullification, which allowed states to reject federal laws they deemed unconstitutional, was challenged during the Reconstruction period after the Civil War. The federal government's enforcement of its authority over the states during this time, including the passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments and the imposition of military rule in Southern states, effectively ended the idea of nullification as a legitimate means of resistance. Therefore, Reconstruction quashed the concept of nullification. The colonial era, Revolutionary War, and Great Depression did not directly address the issue of nullification.
