“If the federal government has the exclusive right to judge the extent of its own powers, warned the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions’ authors (James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, respectively), it will continue to grow – regardless of elections, the separation of powers, and other much-touted limits on government power.”
–Thomas E. Woods

The 10th Amendment Movement is an effort to push back against unconstitutional federal laws and regulations on a state level. The principle is known as “nullification,” and was advised by many prominent founders.

Current Nullification Efforts:

10th Amendment Resolutions
10th Amendment Bills
Firearms Freedom Act
Medical Marijuana Laws
REAL ID
Health Care
Bring the Guard Home
Constitutional Tender
Cap and Trade
Federal Tax Funds Act
Sheriffs First Legislation
Federal Gun Laws
Regulation of Intrastate Commerce

Potential Future Efforts:

Patriot Act
No Child Left Behind
State-Initiated Constitutional Amendments

History of Nullification: While the media generally portrays nullification as being solely aligned with the efforts of the nullifiers of the South and the Civil War, this is certainly false, and reeks of misinformation. Nullification has a long history in the American tradition and has been invoked in support of free speech, in opposition to war and fugitive slave laws, and more.
