Andrew Jackson opposed the idea of nullification during the Nullification Crisis. He firmly believed in the supremacy of the federal government and saw nullification as a threat to the Union. Jackson argued that states did not have the right to disobey federal laws and emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong central government.
John Calhoun played a pivotal role in the nullification crisis as a strong advocate for states' rights and the doctrine of nullification. He argued that states had the right to invalidate federal laws they deemed unconstitutional, particularly opposing tariffs that favored Northern interests at the expense of the South. As Vice President under Andrew Jackson, Calhoun's disagreements with Jackson over these issues led to his resignation in 1832. His defense of South Carolina's actions during the crisis highlighted the deep sectional tensions in the United States.
