Crisis over Nullification 12.3

­ South Carolina was hit extremely hard because their economy was in a slump. Vice President Calhoun was looking for a way to keep them from leaving the union.

­ The doctrine of nullification was the answer. It allowed states to reject a federal law they felt was unconstitutional.

­ Since the tariff favored the north, the south could have the option to nullify it in his theory.

­ At the time this was a controversial topic, that would be debated in Congress during the Webster­Hayne debate.

­ Webster from Massachusetts argued that it was the people not the states that made the Union, and freedom and the Union go together.

­ Hayne from South Carolina stated that it was a lawful way to protest and maintain freedom.

­ Jackson had yet to take sides on the issue.

­ During a birthday party for Thomas Jefferson, Calhoun was going to used the event to gain support for the cause of nullification, Jackson caught wind of this. During a toast Jackson stated, "Our Federal Union, it must be preserved." and directed Calhoun to make the next toast;he said, "The Union, next to our liberty, the most dear; may we all remember that it can only be preserved by respecting the rights of the states and distributing equally the benefits and burdens of the union."
