The Constitution
Makes Federal law supreme
Over all the states
Some don't remember
And want to nullify laws
That they do not like
Haven't we done this
Back before the Civil War?
War destroyed Dixie
Nullification
Is a path to disunion
And then to chaos
The Constitution
ReplyDeleteOnly applies to the laws
Constitutional
Nullification
Fought slavery, draft, tarriff
Protected Free speech
Nullification
Was hated by the South!
Fugitive slave law?
Tyranny despises
limits on central power
Freedom loves limits
Nullification
Is the right of the people
You should like it, man
I think you forget
DeleteJohn Calhoun and the tariff
As well as others
The South attempted
Nullification only
When it suited them
Fugitive Slave Law
They wanted to keep supreme
Desegregation?
Nullification
Creates a situation
That is dangerous
The Articles of
Confederation faltered
On this very ground
