The South Carolina Exposition was a document written in 1828 by Vice President John C. Calhoun, asserting the doctrine of nullification - the belief that states had the right to reject federal laws they deemed unconstitutional. It was a response to the Tariff of Abominations, which Southern states felt was unfairly benefiting the North at the expense of the South.
states had the right to declare federal laws unconstitutional and inapplicable within the state. <apex!!!
South Carolina Exposition and Protest
South Carolina considered pulling out as a protest
The protective tarrif went up in the north, making goods more expencive in the south and the southerners did not like this. So the south desided that they could nullify it. Buth they were wrong. The reason was that they thought that the constitution did not aply to them. Like, they could abbid by the laws which they found suitable for their state. This, of course is not what the constitution is for. But john Adams did not want this for the union and there for did not allow South Carolina to abbid by them. It did create a frenzy, but was soon died off under the president's threat.
