A decision on slavery and a debate on states rights versus federal rights.
The debate over states' rights intensified in the years leading up to the Civil War, particularly concerning issues like slavery and federal authority. Southern states argued that they had the right to nullify federal laws they deemed unconstitutional and ultimately claimed the right to secede from the Union to protect their interests, particularly in preserving slavery. The election of Abraham Lincoln, perceived as a threat to the institution of slavery, prompted several Southern states to secede, believing that their sovereignty was at stake. This conflict over states' rights versus federal power ultimately fueled the tensions that led to the Civil War.
The debate over states' rights has been going on since the writing of the constitution. There are many people who believe the tenth amendment shouldn't apply to serious and lawful offenses.
