nullifiers
Things that invalidate
Nullifiers are people or things that cancel, invalidate, or render something ineffective.
A person who nullifies a contract or agreement is a nullifier.
Historically, the term referred to advocates of nullification—the doctrine that U.S. states could void federal laws they deemed unconstitutional: The nullifiers of South Carolina threatened secession in 1832.
