Answer 1

Andrew Jackson made the statement "The union shall be preserved" in response to South Carolina’s threat to nullify a federal law. This was particularly related to the Nullification Crisis of the early 1830s, where South Carolina sought to nullify federal tariffs. Therefore, the correct response is:

**South Carolina’s threat to nullify a federal law.**
