The law at issue was Van Buren's Tariff of Abominations, meant to embarrass Henry Clay to re-elect Jackson, which it did. When John Q. Adams, elected as a Representative, put together a compromise tariff that passed both houses with a Clay-Calhoun compromise, Jackson pocket-vetoed it, leaving contemporaneous Force Bill standing, stabbing both Clay and Calhoun in the back. Calhoun's Nullification Convention repealed its nullification of the Tariff, resolved to nullify the Force Bill, and South Carolina accepted collection of tariffs in Charleston Harbor.
