I'm not sure which Nullification you are speaking about, but in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798-1799 Thomas Jefferson and James Madison argued a state had the right to nullify a federal law. The Articles of Confederation, by creating a weak central government, had a focus on states rights rather than federal. The Constitution changed that in 1789 by creating a stronger federal government. If a state nullified a federal law it would bring states rights back to the forefront, therefore returning the nation to the principles of the Articles of Confederation.
