Washington D.C.: Regnery Publishing, 2010. Second printing. Black boards, silver stamped spine titles. Dj unclipped 24.95, protected in new, clear sleeve. Provides an eloquent defense of nullification, a remedy used by states against unconstitutional federal power grabs. Unconstitutional laws are pouring out of Washington, but they are not legal at their very essence. There is a rightful remedy to federal power grabs - it's called nullification. Woods explains not only why nullification is the constitutional tool the Founders envisioned, how it works, and has already been employed in cases ranging from upholding the First Amendment to knocking down slave laws before the Civil War. In Nullification, Woods shows: 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. Thorough documentation of how the Founding Fathers believed nullification can be applied. Nullification is not just a book - it is becoming a movement to restore the proper constitutional limits of the federal government. Powerful, provocative, and timely, Nullification is sure to stir debate and become a constitutional handbook for all freedom-loving Americans. 309 pages.. First Edition. Hardcover.
