Vice President John C. Calhoun of South Carolina argued that the states had the right of Nullification, an action by a state that cancels a federal law to which the state objects. If accepted, Calhoun's ideas would seriously weaken the federal government.

John Calhoun played a pivotal role in the nullification crisis as a strong advocate for states' rights and the doctrine of nullification. He argued that states had the right to invalidate federal laws they deemed unconstitutional, particularly opposing tariffs that favored Northern interests at the expense of the South. As Vice President under Andrew Jackson, Calhoun's disagreements with Jackson over these issues led to his resignation in 1832. His defense of South Carolina's actions during the crisis highlighted the deep sectional tensions in the United States.

Nullification is the theory that states have the right to nullify any federal law that the state deems unconstitutional. So far the theory of nullification has not been legally upheld.
