Why Calhoun resigned as Vice-president and how the issue was resolved by Henry Clay?
John C. Calhoun resigned as Vice President because of controversial conflicts with President Andrew Jackson. Calhoun believed Jackson was beginning to favor northern interests, rather than his own Southern platform. He also did not approve of the Tariff of 1828 and was under the impression that the bill would be rejected. When it passed, Calhoun resigned and wrote an essay imposing the idea of nullification. Nullification is the right of a state to interject what they might believe something the government passed is unconstitutional. Henry Clay resolved the issue when he proposed the Compromise Tariff of 1833. The Compromise eventually led to the Whig Party.
What did Andrew Jackson do himself that was new?
Before his presidency, there had never been an issue with a state nullifying something passed by the federal government. South Carolina did just this when a high tariff was placed on goods that were shipped to the north, thus cutting on the profits of the Southern crop growers. Andrew Jackson retaliated by sending armed forces to South Carolina. The issue was resolved when John C. Calhoun, the leader of the nullification, made a compromise with the president. Lower tariffs for no nullification.
