Nullification Crisis
a. The vice president who stood up against Andrew Jackson regarding the Tariff of 1828 was John C. Calhoun. He was from South Carolina.
b. John C. Calhoun believed that if a state found a federal law to be unconstitutional, it had the right to nullify that law within its borders. This idea was rooted in the principle of states' rights.
c. The conflict surrounding the Tariff of 1828 was ultimately resolved through the Compromise Tariff of 1833, which was proposed by Henry Clay. This compromise gradually lowered the tariffs over a period of years, easing the tensions between the federal government and the southern states, particularly South Carolina, which had threatened to secede.
