President Andrew Jackson strongly opposed Vice President John C. Calhoun's views on nullification, which argued that states could invalidate Federal Laws. Jackson believed that nullification threatened the unity of the nation and the authority of the federal government. In response, he issued a proclamation in 1832 asserting the supremacy of federal law and prepared to use military force if necessary to enforce it, demonstrating his commitment to preserving the Union. This conflict ultimately contributed to the tensions leading up to the Civil War.
