Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and Daniel Webster - stella
I'm not sure if this is totally correct because I'm just learning this in AP US but Calhoun was Hayne's "coach" so to speak in the debate and Jackson ended up siding with Webster, drawing a sharper line between the two men. Contributing to their controversy was the whole Peggy Eaton affair.
Hayne, a politician during Jackson's presidency, raised many issues about State's rights and Slavery. Some of his comments revolved around the tariff of 1828. He said the Tariff, "was producing a spirit of jealousy and distrust" (Meacham 127).

In the debate, Webster argued that states did not have the power to nullify a federal law. He also argued that states could not secede from the Union. Daniel Webster held several offices throughout his career, including Senator from Massachusetts.

The nullification crisis voided the tariff laws imposed by the US government on South Carolina. Robert Hayne of South Carolina interpreted the Constitution as a mere treaty between states, while Daniel Webster defended the Constitution. This became known as the Hayne-Webster debate.
