Background of
Nullification
The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions (1798-99) were political statements in
which the Kentucky and Virginia legislatures took the position that the federal
Alien and Sedition Acts were unconstitutional. The Resolutions argued that the
states had the right and the duty to declare unconstitutional any acts of Congress
that were not authorized by the Constitution. In doing so, they argued for states'
rights and strict constructionism of the Constitution. The Kentucky and Virginia
Resolutions of 1798 were written secretly by Vice President Thomas Jefferson
and James Madison, respectively.
Marbury v. Madison 1803 – Judicial Review
McCulloch v. Maryland 1819 – Implied Powers
Gibbons v. Ogden 1824 – Interstate Commerce
Tariff of 1828 – The Tariff of Abominations
The major goal of the tariff was to protect industries in the northern United States which
were being driven out of business by low-priced imported goods by putting a tax on them.
The South, however, was harmed directly by having to pay higher prices on goods the
region did not produce, and indirectly because reducing the exportation of British goods
to the US made it difficult for the British to pay for the cotton they imported from the
South.[1] The reaction in the South, particularly in South Carolina, would lead to the
Nullification Crisis that began in late 1832.
**DEBATES OVER THE NATURE OF THE UNION(U.S.)THE NULLIFICATION CRISIS
