In November 1832, South Carolina passed a resolution stating that certain tariffs imposed by the Federal government didn't apply to their state. This was a crisis because states getting to pick and choose what laws they wanted to follow threatened the whole fabric of government. Eventually, the crisis was averted when the unfair tariff law was changed, but also when armed forces were authorized for use in South Carolina. It was a good compromise, but unfortunately didn't solve the larger North-South conflicts that led to the Civil War.
