In 1832, the Ordinance of Nullification declared that South Carolina would not enforce the federal tariffs imposed by the government, viewing them as unconstitutional and detrimental to its economy. This action was a significant moment in the larger conflict between state rights and federal authority, leading to heightened tensions that contributed to the Civil War. South Carolina's stance was rooted in the belief that states had the right to nullify Federal Laws they deemed unjust. Ultimately, the federal government asserted its authority, and the crisis was defused through a compromise tariff.
