The ordinance of nullification
South Carolina
The Nullification crisis can be defined as a sectional crisis that occurred during the presidency of Andrew Jackson which created the 1832 South Carolina Ordinance of Nullification. This ordinance stated that the federal tariffs of 1828 and 1832 where unconstitutional and therefore null and void.
(Ordinance Of Nullification)
What caused this was South Carolina's Ordinance of Nullification in 1832
South Carolina accepted the Compromise Tariff of 1833 by revoking its Ordinance of Nullification of 1832. The Ordinance was passed in protest to the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832.
Jackson threatened to send federal troops to South Carolina to force them to comply with the law. Jackson did send troops.
Congress modified the tariffs in part, but they were also threatened with force.
South Carolina Ordinance of Nullification, November 24, 1832
South Carolina attempted to defy the Tariff of 1832, which they believed would be economically disastrous to the state . They passed the Ordinance of 1832 which called the tariff unconstitutional and restated a state's right to defy an unconstitutional law that might prove detrimental to their well being. President Jackson countered with The Nullification Ordinance of 1832 and sent a flotilla of naval ships to South Carolina ports to enforce the tax.
In response to tariffs laid on South Carolina by President Andrew Jackson, a number of South Carolina citizens endorsed the states' rights to nullification of tariffs. South Carolina declared the tariffs of of 1828 and 1832 null and void through the Ordinance of Nullification. This led to President Jackson sending a small amount of naval vessels to South Carolina in November 1832.
