We hold … that on their separation from the Crown of Great Britain, the several colonies became free and independent States, each enjoying the separate and independent right of self-government; and that no authority can be exercised over them … but by their consent … It is equally true, that the Constitution of the United States is a compact formed between the several states … that the government created by it is a joint agency of the States, appointed to execute the power enumerated and granted by that instrument; that all its acts not intentionally authorized are of themselves essentially null and void, and that the states have the right … to pronounce, in the last resort, authoritative judgment on the usurpations of the Federal Government … Such we deem to be inherent rights of the States.”
