The Nullification Crisis was a political confrontation in the early 1830s between the federal government and South Carolina over the state's attempt to nullify federal tariffs. South Carolina declared that it would not enforce the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832, which they deemed unconstitutional. President Andrew Jackson responded with a strong stance against nullification, asserting federal supremacy and threatening military action. The crisis ultimately subsided with a compromise tariff and the passage of the Force Bill, which reinforced federal authority.
