The most accurate response that traces the origin of the nullification crisis is: The nullification crisis began when the federal government passed the Tariff of 1828.
The Tariff of 1828, also known as the "Tariff of Abominations" by its opponents, was highly controversial and led to significant discontent in the South, particularly in South Carolina. This discontent sparked the nullification crisis, during which South Carolina attempted to declare the tariff unconstitutional and thus null and void within the state.
