That only allows the states to "nullify" the constituion if the population of the state's population agrees? (Or something like that :P)

That would be the part that isn't there. (And I assume you meant the majority of the state's population)

The people above me are right, there is no clause that says states can nullify Constitutional law. However, I think you're referring to the Nullification Crisis, which occurred when states tried to nullify federal law based on your logic. I'd research the Nullification Crisis to get background on why the states (I believe it was South Carolina who threatened to secede under Henry Clay ...) thought they could do it and why they were ultimately shut down.

Are you crazy?
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. no state can simply decide to "nullify" it

It doesn't. Perhaps that explains the civil war.
