the Supreme Court rejected the principle of nullification. -GRADPOINT
it was a danger because if the nullification was passed, then whatever law the government had put on a state and then a state doesn't like the law, they can just use the nullification. this would lessen the power of the government and eventually, the U.S. would separate on their own. *note* I'm not sure of this answer, but i believe it's one of the reasons. im only an 8th grader anyways. -SCL 2010 graduate! whoopie!

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).

Andrew Jackson was devoted to the Union. This meant that his attitude toward nullification was negative, and he opposed it.
Webster and Jackson opposed nullification because they believed that it undermined the authority of the federal government and threatened the stability of the Union. They argued that only the federal courts, not individual states, had the authority to interpret and enforce the Constitution. They believed that nullification would lead to the disintegration of the Union and ultimately weaken the power of the federal government.
He admitted that the Union was a compact of states.
Jackson was deeply opposed to nullifiction, but he was worried about the economic issues in the southern states, so he passed another tariff to lower the previous rate.
He admitted that the Union was a compact of states.
Calhoun's nullification theory was that if the federal government refused to permit a state to nullify a federal law, the state had the right to withdraw from the Union.
The main idea of nullification was give every state a right to invalidate any federal acts which was viewed as unconstitutional. This was also a way to preserve the union.
