So in 1834 Jack v. Martin overturned federal law at the request of the slave power, and thus states wrote state procedural protections for the process, then in 1842 Priggs v Pennsylvania overturned state procedural protections at the request of the slave power were overturned, so the state wrote procedures to require state noninterference. Then the slave power complained about that.

See the problem was the slave owners wanted to run not just their states, but also the other states. Eventually that didn’t work because the free states were more numerous, and the slave economy was limited by its demand that slaves be kept ignorant. When the slave power realized their fecklessness, they resorted to the unconstitutional remedy of unilateral secession, and then started a war, which they lost.

“See the problem was the slave owners wanted to run not just their states, but also the other states.”

That’s what Karl Marx wrote- are you ‘borrowing’ his ideas again?
