The nullification crisis of 1832 centered around southern opposition to tariffs.
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.

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.

What caused this was South Carolina's Ordinance of Nullification in 1832
The nullification issue primarily arose in the early 1830s, with the most significant event being the Nullification Crisis of 1832-1833. It was sparked by South Carolina's declaration that it would not enforce the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832, which they deemed unconstitutional. The crisis culminated in a confrontation between the state and the federal government, ultimately resolved by a compromise tariff in 1833.
