In 1832, South Carolina's state legislature passed the Nullification Act, declaring that it would not enforce the federal tariffs of 1828 and 1832, which they deemed unconstitutional and harmful to the state's economy. This act was part of a larger conflict known as the Nullification Crisis, where South Carolina asserted its right to nullify Federal Laws. The situation escalated tensions between the state and the federal government, leading to a confrontation that ultimately required President Andrew Jackson to respond with military force to uphold federal authority. The crisis was eventually resolved through a compromise tariff in 1833, but it highlighted the growing divide over states' rights and federal power.
Nullification in Georgia primarily took place during the Nullification Crisis of the 1830s, when the state asserted its right to invalidate federal laws it deemed unconstitutional, particularly regarding tariffs. The most notable instance occurred in 1832 when the Georgia legislature passed a resolution declaring the federal tariff laws null and void within the state. This was part of a broader Southern response to perceived overreach by the federal government, reflecting tensions that would eventually contribute to the Civil War.
