Re: Alternate Scenarios.

What do you think of the hypothetical effect on US foreign policy if the several states, had a formal mechanism for nullifying federal authority when it intrudes on state sovereignty?

If the US had a formal nullification amendment, the individual states could have refused to participate in federal foreign military policies as a form of state's right.

This type of amendment could be seen as another form of checks and balance of power between the states, the interstate, and the populace.
