Both John C. Calhoun and Andrew Jackson claimed the U.S. Constitution supports their positions. Calhoun emphasized states' rights and the Constitution's provisions for state sovereignty, particularly in the context of nullification. In contrast, Jackson argued for a strong central government and the preservation of the Union, citing the Constitution as a mandate for federal authority. Their conflicting interpretations highlight the tension between state and federal powers during that era.
