The Nullification Crisis began as a dispute between the United States government and South Carolina that started in 1832 and ended in 1833. The Nullification Crisis saw that South Carolina wanted to void the tariffs sustained in 1828 and 1832 through the nullification theory that proposed that within the borders of a state, that state could pick and choose whether they wanted to void actions taken by the federal government. The nullification doctrine was proposed and upheld by Thomas Jefferson as he believed that states had the ability and power to consider whether federal actions had overstepped and could declare them “nullified” in what was called the Ordinance of Nullification in South Carolina. Andrew Jackson was soon involved in the Nullification Crisis as he saw South Carolina’s nullification to be a threat to the overall federal government and power. Jackson thus pushed a bill that asked for the power to deploy troops to South Carolina to put an end to the crisis. South Carolina saw a complete failure in their attempts and relented, but they were not totally without a small victory as Henry Clay negotiated South Carolina’s bill to be more to their liking.
