Detailed explanation-1: -The nullification crisis was a conflict between the U.S. state of South Carolina and the federal government of the United States in 1832–33.
Detailed explanation-2: -On December 10, 1832, Andrew Jackson issued a Proclamation to the People of South Carolina in response to the nullification crisis.
Detailed explanation-3: -In November 1832, the Nullification Convention met. The convention declared the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 unconstitutional and unenforceable within the state of South Carolina after February 1, 1833. It was asserted that attempts to use force to collect the taxes would lead to the state’s secession.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Nullification Crisis of 1832 was a political dispute between the Federal Government and the government of South Carolina over tariffs that were designed to protect manufacturers in the Northern states who were competing with British manufacturers.
Detailed explanation-5: -In the interregnum, Henry Clay and Calhoun worked out a compromise in Congress, known as the Compromise Bill of 1833. In exchange for South Carolina rescinding its ordinance, the tariffs would be incrementally lowered over ten years. This circumstance brought the Nullification Crisis of 1832 to an end.
