Christian G. Fritz looks at interposition, which is the practice of states opposing federal government decisions that were deemed unconstitutional. Interposition became a much-used constitutional tool to monitor the federal government and organize resistance, beginning with the Constitution's ratification and continuing through the present affecting issues including gun control, immigration, and healthcare. Though the use of interposition was largely abandoned because of its association with nullification and the Civil War, recent interest reminds us that the federal government cannot run roughshod over states, and that states lack any legitimate power to nullify federal laws. Insightful and comprehensive, this appraisal of interposition breaks new ground in American political and constitutional history, and can help us preserve our constitutional system and democracy" -- $c Dust jacket. 650 0 $a State-local relations $z United States. 650 0 $a Federal-state controversies $z United States. 650 0 $a States' rights (American politics) $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781009325585 830 0 $a Studies in legal history. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021013038.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907011731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA7A9E98E97711ED8437380758ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
