President Andrew Jackson responded to the Nullification Crisis by firmly opposing the Nullification Act, which was enacted by South Carolina to declare federal tariffs null and void within the state. He viewed this act as a direct challenge to federal authority and the Constitution. In response, Jackson issued a proclamation asserting the supremacy of federal law and threatened to use military force if necessary to enforce it. He also pushed for the passage of the Force Bill, which authorized him to use the military to ensure compliance with federal tariffs.
