The correct answer is: **The state of South Carolina passed it in opposition to the Tariff of 1828.**
The Ordinance of Nullification was adopted by South Carolina in 1832 as a response to the Tariff of 1828, which they believed imposed unfair economic burdens on the southern states. South Carolina claimed the right to nullify federal laws deemed unconstitutional, leading to a significant confrontation between state and federal authority.
