The term you're looking for is **Nullification**. Nullification is the legal theory that a state has the right to invalidate any federal law that they believe is unconstitutional or not in the best interest of the state. This concept has been a topic of debate in U.S. history, particularly before the Civil War.

The other options listed have different meanings:
- **Tribute** refers to a payment made by one state or ruler to another as a sign of respect or allegiance.
- **Sedition** refers to conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state.
- **Alien** typically refers to someone who is not a citizen of the country in question.

So, in the context of your question, "Nullification" is the correct answer.
