The Force Bill was passed overwhelmingly by both chambers of the federal legislature in 1832 constituting, in effect, Congress's declaration that States do not have the right to nullify. Although South Carolina in its turn declared the Force Bill itself nullified, Congress has never rescinded it, and it is regarded to have settled the matter, at least from the point of view of the federal government.

I believe that States ought to have the right to nullify unconstitutional acts of the federal government. Nevertheless, it is a head-in-the-sand approach to ignore that the Congress with the passage in 1832 of the Force Bill is believed to have clearly declared the view of the federal government that States do not have the right to nullify.
