    Nullification is a legal theory that a state has the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law it deems unconstitutional ... In "South Carolina Exposition and Protest", Calhoun argued that a state could veto any federal law that went beyond the enumerated powers and encroached upon the residual powers of the State.
