Detailed explanation-1: -It was driven by South Carolina politician John C. Calhoun, who opposed the federal imposition of the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 and argued that the U.S. Constitution gave states the right to block the enforcement of a federal law.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Nullification Crisis was caused by Southern opposition to the Tariffs of 1828 and 1833, which raised prices on British goods that were imported into the South. Southern states believed the tariffs were designed to protect Northern manufacturers who competed with the British.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Tariff of 1828, commonly referred to as the Tariff of Abominations, was the central cause of the Nullification Crisis. This tariff was first proposed by allies of Andrew Jackson’s presidential campaign during the election of 1828. The tariff itself raised taxes by 30 to 50 percent on imports.
