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.

Did john c calhoun want the south to secede?

No, Calhoun was an advocate for the growth and expansion of the Union. He brought back the idea of nullification by a state - of a federal law, following the passage of the Tariff of 1828. Because the tariff was detrimental to the wellbeing of the state, he believed the state had the right to nullification. Secession was not an idea proposed in the South Carolina Exposition and Protest (which stated the Doctrine of Nullification).


How would the practice of nullification threaten the union?

The practice of nullification, where states claim the right to invalidate federal laws, threatens the union by undermining federal authority and creating a patchwork of laws across states. It can lead to conflicts between state and federal governments, eroding the principle of a cohesive national policy. If states can selectively ignore federal mandates, it risks disunity and could encourage further secessionist sentiments, ultimately destabilizing the union. This challenges the fundamental concept of a united nation governed by a central authority.
