Speker 1:: A State has the right to overrule and act passed by congress. After all the nation government is supposed to share power with the states
Speker 2: I believe that your are wrong. The states do share power with the national government but the constitution says the national government has supremacy.
Nullificatio crisis
Monroe Doctrine
Missouri Compromise
Three fiths compromise
Speker 1: The nullification crisis was a prime example of a state, specifically South Carolina, attempting to overrule a federal law, in this case the Tariff of 1828. It ultimately showed the tension between state and federal power.
Speker 2: The Monroe Doctrine, on the other hand, was a foreign policy statement by President James Monroe asserting that the Western Hemisphere was off-limits to European colonization. While not directly related to states' rights, it did demonstrate the power of the federal government in shaping foreign policy.
Speker 1: The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was a legislative agreement that regulated slavery in the western territories, showing how national legislation could override state laws in certain cases.
Speker 2: The Three-Fifths Compromise, meanwhile, was a Constitutional agreement that counted each enslaved person as three-fifths of a free person for the purposes of representation in Congress. This compromise showcased the delicate balance of power between northern and southern states in shaping national legislation.
