Ordinance of Nullification.
Briefly: the Doctrine of Nullification was the theory (associated with John C. Calhoun) that a state could nullify unconstitutional federal laws. The Ordinance of Nullification (South Carolina, 1832) was the state’s formal act declaring the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832 unconstitutional and therefore unenforceable in South Carolina, precipitating the Nullification Crisis.
