How did the tariff crisis lead to the Nullification Act?
The high tariff meant that Southerners had to pay more for imports. Many people thought that the tariff was unconstitutional. Anger against the tariff increased in the South. Congress passed a new tariff in 1832 that lowered the rate slightly. South Carolina was not satisfied. It passed the Nullification Act, which declared the new tariff illegal. US President Andrew Jackson sent US troops to South Carolina to enforce Federal tariff laws.
