Doctrine of Nullification and South Carolina threatened to succeed from the Union.
In Andrew jacksons presidential cabinet his vice president john C. Calhoun Supported nullification, he even wrote the south Carolina exposition and protest which was about nullification of a tariff
No, Calhoun was an advocate for the growth and expansion of the Union. He brought back the idea of nullification by a state - of a federal law, following the passage of the Tariff of 1828. Because the tariff was detrimental to the wellbeing of the state, he believed the state had the right to nullification. Secession was not an idea proposed in the South Carolina Exposition and Protest (which stated the Doctrine of Nullification).
The highest tariff ever passed in the nation's peacetime history was the Compromise Tariff(tariff of 1833) proposed by John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay to resolve the Nullification Crisis.
He proposed the Tariff of 1833, to ease the nullification crisis. what it basically did was lower the tax prices year by year.
Andrew Jackson told Calhoun that the US would not tolerate nullification of the tariff. If South Carolina tried, the army would enforce the law.
