The so-called "nullification controversy" was the declaration by South Carolina in 1830 that federal tariffs were unconstitutional. The threat of South Carolina's actions against the US and the US Constitution ended when US President Andrew Jackson threatened to send federal troops to that state in order to enforce federal tariff laws.

LaoNullification is the theory that a state may declare an act or law of the Federal government, "null and void," not enforceable, within that state. South Carolina invoked that theory and threatened to secede from the Union if the rates of the Tariff of 1832 and 1828 were not reduced. The South considered the rates "protectionist," designed to help the industries of the North, while forcing the southern consumers to pay more for manufactured goods from abroad.
