states could refuse to obey or enforce federal laws with which they disagreed
Nullification is the theory that states have the right to nullify any federal law that the state deems unconstitutional. So far the theory of nullification has not been legally upheld.
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).
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.
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.
The Nullification Crisis occurred during Andrew Jackson's presidency. The ordinance stated that the federal Tariffs of 1828 South Carolina's boundaries. The controversial and highly protective Tariff of 1828, known by its opponents as the"Tariff of Abominations."

The doctrine of nullification. This doctrine recently been expressed in a different form as the principle of "state sovereignty", which uses the 9th and 10th Amendments to justify laws prohibiting Federal activities. The counter-argument is that the commerce clause of the Constitution allows Congress to regulate interstate commerce, and under that basis can institute programs nominally under state jurisdiction (e.g. national health care).
Andrew Jackson did not support nullification and he responded in a strong manner warning against it. He actually stated those who would propagate it would be held liable for treason.
