Yes, New Hampshire, like several other states, expressed opposition to federal tariff laws in the early 19th century, particularly during the era of rising tariffs that were seen as benefiting industrial Northern states at the expense of agricultural Southern states. However, New Hampshire did not formally attempt to nullify these laws in the same way that South Carolina did with the Nullification Crisis of 1832. Instead, New Hampshire's response was more focused on political and legislative means to address its grievances regarding tariffs.
no
South Carolina attempted to nullify laws raising tariffs in the early 1830s through the Nullification Crisis. The state objected to the Tariff of 1828 and subsequent tariffs, which they believed unfairly favored northern industries at the expense of southern economies. In response, South Carolina declared these tariffs null and void within its borders, leading to a significant confrontation with the federal government. Ultimately, the crisis was resolved through a compromise tariff and the threat of federal force.
...corrected the imbalance whereby the North effectively taxed the South by raising tariffs on the imports the South needed, having no industry of its own.
John C. Calhoun sought to nullify the Tariff of Abominations, enacted in 1828, which imposed high tariffs on imported goods. He believed these tariffs disproportionately harmed the Southern economy while benefiting Northern industrial interests. Calhoun argued for the principle of nullification, asserting that states had the right to invalidate federal laws they deemed unconstitutional. This stance ultimately contributed to tensions leading up to the Civil War.
During President Jackson's period of office the "Nullification Crisis", or "secession crisis," of 1828 - 1832, merged issues of sectional strife with disagreements over tariffs. Critics alleged that high tariffs (the "Tariff of Abominations") on imports of common manufactured goods made in Europe made those goods more expensive than ones from the northern U.S., raising the prices paid by planters in the South. Southern politicians argued that tariffs benefited northern industrialists at the expense of southern farmers."
A state's legislature can nullify its own laws. A state cannot nullify a federal law, as the Constitution shall be "the supreme law of the land".
