Question

The quotation below is from Daniel Webster's debate with Robert Y. Hayne during the Nullification Crisis

Whence is this supposed right of the States derived? Where do they find the power to interfere with the laws of the Union? [It] is a notion founded in a total misapprehension, in my judgment, of the origin of this government, and of the foundation on which it stands. I hold it to be a popular government, erected by the people; those who administer it, responsible to the people; and itself capable of being amended and modified, just as the people may choose it should be. It is as popular, just as truly emanating from the people, as the State governments. It is created for one purpose; the State governments for another. It has its own powers; they have theirs. There is no more authority with them to arrest the operation of a law of Congress, than with Congress to arrest the operation of their laws.

do not have authority over the federal government.

do not have sovereignty in economic issues.
