STATES’ RIGHTS
•The 10th Amendment to the United States
Constitution states that all powers not given to the
Congress by the Constitution (Art. I, Sec. 8) are
reserved to the states, States' Rights.
•Because the power to decide issues regarding
slavery is not given to the Congress in the
Constitution, the southern states felt that is was
within their power to determine the issue.

Tariffs
•The South was producing cotton and selling it to the
North as well as to England.
•Northern manufacturers were producing cloth they
wanted to sell in the South. However it was more
expensive for the North to produce goods than England
because they were better industrialized.
•The North wanted a protective tariff placed on imported
goods thus raising England’s prices on goods.

Tariffs
•Southerners and Northerners both would have to pay
more for manufactured goods imported from overseas,
which would help sales of products made in the U.S.
•The South protested that the national government did
not have the right to do this.
•However, the Constitution gives the Congress the
power to pass import taxes (export taxes are forbidden)
