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.

the Nullification Crisis was put to an end by the Great Compromiser himself, Henry Clay, with the Compromise Tariff of 1833.
He proposed the Tariff of 1833, to ease the nullification crisis. what it basically did was lower the tax prices year by year.
What caused this was South Carolina's Ordinance of Nullification in 1832
The nullification issue primarily arose in the early 1830s, with the most significant event being the Nullification Crisis of 1832-1833. It was sparked by South Carolina's declaration that it would not enforce the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832, which they deemed unconstitutional. The crisis culminated in a confrontation between the state and the federal government, ultimately resolved by a compromise tariff in 1833.
