They felt they had the right to nullify the tariff based on the principle of states' rights and the belief that states could reject Federal Laws they deemed unconstitutional. This perspective was rooted in the idea that the federal government was created by the states, and thus states had the authority to interpret the Constitution. Additionally, they argued that the tariff disproportionately harmed their economic interests, particularly in the South, where it raised the cost of imported goods. This led to a broader conflict over the balance of power between state and federal authority.
