In 1215, a band of rebellious medieval barons forced King John of England to agree to a laundry list of concessions later called the Great Charter, or in Latin, Magna Carta. Centuries later, America’s Founding Fathers took great inspiration from this medieval pact as they forged the nation’s founding documents—including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
For 18th-century political thinkers like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Magna Carta was a potent symbol of liberty and the natural rights of man against an oppressive or unjust government. The Founding Fathers’ reverence for Magna Carta had less to do with the actual text of the document, which is mired in medieval law and outdated customs, than what it represented—an ancient pact safeguarding individual liberty.
“For early Americans, Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence were verbal representations of what liberty was and what government should be—protecting people rather than oppressing them,” says John Kaminski, director of the Center for the Study of the American Constitution at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Much in the same way that for the past 100 years the Statue of Liberty has been a visual representation of freedom, liberty, prosperity and welcoming.”
When the First Continental Congress met in 1774 to draft a Declaration of Rights and Grievances against King George III, they asserted that the rights of the English colonists to life, liberty and property were guaranteed by “the principles of the English constitution,” a.k.a. Magna Carta. On the title page of the 1774 Journal of The Proceedings of The Continental Congress is an image of 12 arms grasping a column on whose base is written “Magna Carta.

Which of the following describes nullification?
A)a strong loyalty to a state or region, sometimes at the expense of a nation
B)the idea that states have powers separate from the federal government
C)the idea that a state could refuse to follow a federal law it disagreed with
D)a system that divides power between national and state governments
Answer:
C) The idea that a state could refuse to follow a federal law it disagreed with.
Explanation:
Nullification, in United States constitutional history, is a legal theory that a state has the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law which that state has deemed unconstitutional with respect to the United States Constitution.
Nullification is the idea that a state could refuse to follow a federal law it disagreed with. Thus, option C is correct.
What is federal government?The federal government of the United States is the national government of the United States, a federal republic largely centered in North America and consisting of 50 states, one city inside a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and many island holdings.
In the United States constitutional history, nullification is a legal notion that a state has the ability to nullify, or invalidate, any federal legislation that the state deems unlawful in relation to the United States Constitution.
The Nullification Crisis between South Carolina and the United States government over the Tariff of 1828, often known as the Tariff of Abominations, is one example of this.
The state, led by John C. Calhoun, attempted to repeal the tariff because it would harm the Southern economy.
Nullification is the concept that a state may refuse to obey a federal law with which it disagrees. As a result, option C is correct.
