| Details | Although Patrick Henry had argued against ratification of the Constitution, he came out of retirement to oppose a policy drafted by Thomas Jefferson that declared a state could pronounce federal laws unconstitutional and nullify them. Henry contended that since “we the people” adopted the Constitution, anyone contesting federal policy must seek reform “in a constitutional way.” Historian John Ragosta brings this relatively unknown story to life. |
