Thomas Jefferson turned to nullification in an effort to right the wrongs of the Alien and Sedition Acts because **he believed the states were meant to control the federal government.** This principle suggested that states had the authority to invalidate federal laws they deemed unconstitutional, reflecting Jefferson's belief in a limited federal government and states' rights.
