President Andrew Jackson's vice president who led the resistance to the Tariff of 1828 was John C. Calhoun. Calhoun was a strong opponent of the tariff, which he believed was detrimental to the southern states, and he articulated his opposition through the doctrine of nullification. This doctrine argued that states had the right to nullify federal laws that they deemed unconstitutional.
