It is a crucial document in US History. In 1828 John Caldwell Calhoun penned it for the legislature of his State. While it could appear a simple protest against the tariff of abominations, it actually laid the ground for a new interpretatation of "nullification", the constitutional doctrine that Thomas Jefferson had proposed in 1798 (Kentucky Resolutions). Such a vision of the American compact became the real subject of contention between the two sections until the civil war.
