South Carolina attempted to defy the Tariff of 1832, which they believed would be economically disastrous to the state . They passed the Ordinance of 1832 which called the tariff unconstitutional and restated a state's right to defy an unconstitutional law that might prove detrimental to their well being. President Jackson countered with The Nullification Ordinance of 1832 and sent a flotilla of naval ships to South Carolina ports to enforce the tax.
South Carolina accepted the Compromise Tariff of 1833 by revoking its Ordinance of Nullification of 1832. The Ordinance was passed in protest to the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832.
The South Carolina Ordinance of Nullification, enacted in 1832, declared the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832 null and void within the state, asserting that states could invalidate federal laws they deemed unconstitutional. However, the Supreme Court never directly ruled on the Ordinance itself, as the issue was politically resolved before a case reached the Court. The conflict highlighted tensions over states' rights and federal authority, but trade regulation is primarily a federal responsibility, not merely a state issue.

South Carolina Ordinance of Nullification, November 24, 1832
The Nullification crisis can be defined as a sectional crisis that occurred during the presidency of Andrew Jackson which created the 1832 South Carolina Ordinance of Nullification. This ordinance stated that the federal tariffs of 1828 and 1832 where unconstitutional and therefore null and void.
President Andrew Jackson declared his opposition to nullification in his proclamation on December 10, 1832. This was in response to South Carolina's Nullification Ordinance, which declared federal tariffs unenforceable within the state. Jackson asserted that nullification was unconstitutional and emphasized the supremacy of federal law over state law. His strong stance ultimately led to a compromise and the resolution of the crisis.
