We've been learning about something called nullification in history. There are two forms of it (that I know of, and one I found through google). What these laws (yes they are laws!) do is prohibit the federal government from making/enforcing unfair laws.

The first, regular nullification (I guess you would call it that...) gives states the right to declare ANY federal law null and void. Then that state doesn't have to follow that law. End of story! WHY HASN'T IT OCCURED TO STATES TO USE THIS? The only reason I can think of is that it's not a law anymore (asked my teacher, she says she thinks its still a law but she isn't sure).

The second thing, though, IS a law. Jury nullification, which says a jury (as in trial by jury, ordinary people) has the right to declare that a law is unconstitutional or say someone is not guilty because they don't agree with the law. This is one link I found, though theres plenty more... BTW, about halfway down is some info about how this helped stop the alcohol prohibition in case you don't see what I'm getting at

Jury Nullification

What's sad is that judges PURPOSELY 'forget' to tell jurors about these rights... And somewhere in there I read that it was created so that the government wouldn't enslave the people, but rather the people would own the government... Funny how it's the exact opposite of what the Founding Fathers wanted

I think I'll just stop there to prevent paragraphs upon paragraphs of ranting... believe me it could go on for a while...
