False
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.
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.
54 DOTS FROM THE ISSUE
There was a flap over the wife of Jackson's Secretary of War, She had been a been a bar-maid and was not considered to be a lady by Mrs Calhoun, who refused to socialize with her. Calhoun also hated the federal tariffs and claimed the right of a state to nullify federal laws that it found unacceptable. Jackson did not agree that a state had such a right.
nullification crisis
The nullification debate heated up during Jackson's presidency.this time the issue was an economic one,when the us went to war in 1812 Americans were stopped from importing factory goods
It was the doctrine of nullification
The final resignation was over the issue of the right of states to nullify federal tariff laws and the right of the federal government to send in troops in order to collect these tariffs. Calhoun also wanted to be a Senator which he became after he left the vice presidency. Before this, Calhoun , who was a holdover from the previous administration and distrusted Jackson, sided against Jackson in the Peggy Eaton flap.
Tariffs
states rights
Andrew Jackson threatened to invade South Carolina if the state tried to nullify the Tariff. Vice President John Calhoun resigned and went back to South Carolina to work on changing the law. Finally the revised Tariff of 1833 was passed and Jackson did not have to invade South Carolina. The tariff was harmful because those of 1828 and 1832 favored Northern factories and since South Carolina sold its cotton to England, they wanted to buy cheaper English goods with their cotton income.
