John C. Calhoun resigned as Vice President because of controversial conflicts with President Andrew Jackson. Calhoun believed Jackson was beginning to favor northern interests, rather than his own Southern platform. He also did not approve of the Tariff of 1828 and was under the impression that the bill would be rejected. When it passed, Calhoun resigned and wrote an essay imposing the idea of nullification. Nullification is the right of a state to interject what they might believe something the government passed is unconstitutional. Henry Clay resolved the issue when he proposed the Compromise Tariff of 1833. The Compromise eventually led to the Whig Party.
