Nullification

Many felt that the new constitution ignored the rights of states to continue to act independently. They felt that the states should still have the right to decide if they want to accept certain federal laws. This ended up with the idea of nullification, where the states would have the right to rule federal acts unconstitutional. The federal government denied states this right, and states felt that they were no longer respected. This caused the states to move towards secession.
