President Andrew Jackson's vice president, John C. Calhoun, led the resistance to the Tariff of 1828. Calhoun was a strong advocate for states' rights and argued that the tariff was harmful to the southern economy, leading to his articulation of the doctrine of nullification, which stated that states could nullify federal laws they deemed unconstitutional.
