it was a danger because if the nullification was passed, then whatever law the government had put on a state and then a state doesn't like the law, they can just use the nullification. this would lessen the power of the government and eventually, the U.S. would separate on their own. *note* I'm not sure of this answer, but i believe it's one of the reasons. im only an 8th grader anyways. -SCL 2010 graduate! whoopie!
It would have weakened federal law, allowing states to act on their own behalf.

The nullification issue primarily arose in the early 1830s, with the most significant event being the Nullification Crisis of 1832-1833. It was sparked by South Carolina's declaration that it would not enforce the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832, which they deemed unconstitutional. The crisis culminated in a confrontation between the state and the federal government, ultimately resolved by a compromise tariff in 1833.
The nullification crisis happened here in the United States in about 1828-1832. It was between the south, especially South Carolina who threatened to secede, if the tariffs would not go down or be taken away.
The practice of nullification, where states claim the right to invalidate federal laws they deem unconstitutional, threatens the union by undermining the authority of the federal government and promoting legal disunity. It could lead to a fragmented legal landscape, where different states operate under varying interpretations of federal law, creating conflicts and chaos in governance. This challenges the principle of a cohesive national identity and could incite tensions between states, potentially leading to secessionist movements and weakening the bonds that hold the union together. Ultimately, nullification poses a serious risk to the stability and effectiveness of the federal system.

Webster and Jackson opposed nullification because they believed that it undermined the authority of the federal government and threatened the stability of the Union. They argued that only the federal courts, not individual states, had the authority to interpret and enforce the Constitution. They believed that nullification would lead to the disintegration of the Union and ultimately weaken the power of the federal government.
Jackson was deeply opposed to nullifiction, but he was worried about the economic issues in the southern states, so he passed another tariff to lower the previous rate.
In the Constitution, it states that Federal law was supreme over State law. Therefore, the power for a state to nullify a federal law would go against the Constitution.

The loss of slavery would threaten the Southern economy.
Andrew Jackson did not support nullification and he responded in a strong manner warning against it. He actually stated those who would propagate it would be held liable for treason.
It never would have happened, simple as that
The ordinance of nullification
The quote in question here was spoken by Daniel Webster. Webster was one of the founders of the Whig Party that became the National Republican party.
