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.

A very good question. Not an easy one to answer. Many legislators voted against the 700 billion bailout on the basis that it was not the purpose of government. President Bush stated that ordinarily, it would be his policy just to let corporations fail than to bailout them out. However, he supported the bailout plan on the basis that to do nothing could put the country in a long term depression. I suggest that those who wish to express their opinion use the "discuss" option, rather than continue to add to this answer.
