Synopsis
Limits of State Resistance offers a clear analysis of nullification, federal authority, and the constitutional stakes.
This book examines how the law binds citizens and how power is distributed between states and the national government, highlighting the central arguments around state resistance and the meaning of the Constitution. The discussion centers on practical questions of obligation, sovereignty, and the Government’s right to shape laws. It weighs the role of majority opinion, the limits of state action, and the consequences of attempts to undo federal authority. Through historical argument and critique, it argues that nullification is unconstitutional and poses risks to national unity.
- How obligations arise from law and government, not individual will
- Why nullification is portrayed as unconstitutional and imprudent
- Different ideas of majorities and how they affect federal power
- Critiques of state-level challenges to the union and the Constitution

The author contends nullification is illegal, impracticable, and costly.
