False

Answer 1

True. There have been instances in U.S. history where states chose to ignore or resist federal laws. One notable example is the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, which were passed in response to the Alien and Sedition Acts during John Adams' presidency. These resolutions advocated for states' rights and argued that states could nullify federal laws they deemed unconstitutional. Additionally, throughout U.S. history, various states have enacted laws that contradict federal laws on issues such as immigration, marijuana legalization, and healthcare.
