The Constitution and The Theory of Interposition
The constitutional basis for the theory of interposition is essentially identical to the basis for the theory of nullification. For a discussion of the relevant provisions of the Constitution, the history of the Constitutional Convention and the state ratifying conventions, and the statements made in the Federalist Papers on this subject, see the article on nullification.

Famous quotes containing the words constitution and/or theory:
“Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
“No one thinks anything silly is suitable when they are an adolescent. Such an enormous share of their own behavior is silly that they lose all proper perspective on silliness, like a baker who is nauseated by the sight of his own eclairs. This provides another good argument for the emerging theory that the best use of cryogenics is to freeze all human beings when they are between the ages of twelve and nineteen.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
