Detailed explanation-1: -Which statement best explains how the conflict over the Tariff of 1828 was resolved? The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the tariff. Daniel Webster gave a speech to the Senate and the tariff was repealed.
Detailed explanation-2: -In what ways do you think the tariff crisis of 1828 and 1832 might be considered important milestones in American history before the Civil War? Tariff crisis led to nullification crisis which introduced the belief that states had the right protest the federal government.
