Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Webster–Hayne debate was a debate in the United States between Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts and Senator Robert Y. Hayne of South Carolina that took place on January 19–27, 1830 on the topic of protectionist tariffs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many Southerners, in response to tariff laws that favored the North, supported the concept of “nullification.” Nullification held that states had the right to disobey laws of Congress they thought were unconstitutional. Webster argued that nullification would destroy the Union.

Detailed explanation-3: -Daniel Webster, a senator from Massachusetts, believed that nullification was illegal and only the Supreme Court had the power to nullify federal law. Congress agreed to lower the tariffs of 1828 and passed a new tariff policy in 1832. The South Carolina still felt they were too high.
