South Carolina
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.
By Nicholas B. Vice President John C. Calhoun of South Carolina argued that the states had the right of Nullification, an action by a state that cancels a federal law to which the state objects. If accepted, Calhoun's ideas would seriously weaken the federal government.
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!
The result of the Land Ordinance of 1878 was the expansion of the US up to the Mississippi River. This would lead to colonization and state creations, making another place for American Settlers to move to.

Calhoun was the one that began it but, Jackson responded (to the ordinance that declared tariffs of 1828 and 1832) that on the path if continued hell would break lose and would give him the power for military assistance to collect tariff. Responded through forced bill.
For 1832, it was South Carolina, and for 1828, I think it was Georgia. But im not entirley shure about the second one I answered.
The Northwest ordinance of 1787
The Confederation Congress adopted the Northwest Ordinance in July of 1787. This ordinance established governance for new territories and provided a blueprint for accepting new states into the Union. It declared that the new states would be equal to the existing states and also banned slavery in the new territories.
President Andrew Jackson is the one person who did not favor nullification. He actually warned those who were pushing for it that they would be charged with treason and will send army troops on any state that will contravene the law.
No the Congress can not nullify a ruling of the Supreme Court. The Congress would have to rewrite the law which the Supreme Court had declared unconstitutional. Then the new law could overrule the Supreme Court IF the new law was declared constitutional if/when appealed.

The right of a state to "NULLIFY, or DECLARE VOID, ANY FEDERAL LAW WITHIN ITS BOUNDARIES."
