The States can’t nullify because they were not a party to the original compact between citizens of the several states. The Constitution was ratified by special conventions of specially elected representatives in each state. It was not ratified by state governments.

As such, the people themselves created both the state and federal governments and delegated power and authority to them in their respective constitutions, reserving certain rights to themselves FROM government. As such, only the people can dissolve or alter that delegation of authority. I don’t see how the state has been delegated the power of nullification by the people. Where does it say that in any constitution - or is it an expansion of power beyond that specifically delegated?
