How did Andrew Jackson solve the nullification crisis?

The
nullification crisis that arose during
Andrew Jacksons presidency was a serious challenge that
he had to face. The
people of South Carolina was very unhappy with the high protective tariff of

1828 because they believed it hurt the South while benefitting the North. John C.
Calhoun
believed a state should be able to reject a law if it hurts a state
or region while helping
another state or region. This would violate the
Constitution because the Constitution states
that federal laws are
supreme.

President Jackson had a clear stance on this

issue. He said that states couldnt nullify federal laws. He indicated that the tariff
would be
enforced throughout the country. When South Carolina threatened to
secede over this issue,
Jackson indicated there would be a military response
by the federal government. President
Jackson was not going to just allow
South Carolina to secede. Fortunately, a compromise was
reached that allowed
for a gradual lowering of the tariff over a ten-year period. South Carolina

stayed in the Union and the issue was resolved, at least in the

short-term.
