Solution
The correct option is E Daniel Webster
Nullification was the doctrine that a
state could declare a federal law unconstitutional and not obey it,
making it "null and void." Anti-nullification Daniel Webster debated
Hayne, who supported Calhoun's resurrection of the nullification
doctrines of '98. The idea originated in 1798 when Madison and Jefferson
first wrote the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, asking other states
to support them in nullifying the Alien and Sedition Acts.
