Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century
By Thomas Woods
Citizens across the country are fed up with the politicians in Washington telling us how to live our lives—and then sticking us with the bill. But what can we do? Actually, we can just say “no.” As New York Times bestselling author Thomas E. Woods, Jr., explains, “nullification” allows states to reject unconstitutional federal laws. For many tea partiers nationwide, nullification is rapidly becoming the only way to stop an over-reaching government drunk on power. From privacy to national healthcare, Woods shows how this growing and popular movement is sweeping across America and empowering states to take action against Obama’s socialist policies and big-government agenda.
Unconstitutional laws are pouring out of Washington…but we can stop them.
Just ask Thomas Jefferson. There is a “rightful remedy” to federal power grabs—it’s called Nullification.
In Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century, historian and New York Times bestselling author Thomas E. Woods, Jr. explains not only why nullification is the constitutional tool the Founders envisioned, but 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
- How, through nullification, “stimulus spending,” Obamacare, and other unconstitutional expansions of federal power can be rolled back
- PLUS thorough documentation of how the Founding Fathers believed nullification could be applied
Nullification is not just a book—it could become 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 liberty-loving Americans.
