  29. 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.

  30. **DEBATES OVER THE NATURE OF THE UNION(U.S.)-THE NULLIFICATION CRISIS South Carolinians argued that states could NULLIFY (VOID )The Tariff of 1832(protective tax on imported goods) and other acts of Congress. states could secede from the Union in defense of slavery(the Nullification Crisis). President Jackson threatened to send in federal troops to collect the tariff revenues.

  34. Jackson Political Cartoons

  35. **POLITICAL PARTIES • The FEDERALIST PARTY disappeared and new political parties were organized in opposition to the Democratic Party • The Whigs-believed in a strong central government and opposed Jackson’s King Like actions. • The Know Nothings-anti-immigrant party

  36. **SECTIONAL TENSIONS-between North and South The INDUSTRIAL NORTH -favored high protective tariffs to protect Northern manufactured goods from foreign competition. *protective tariff-tax on imported goods

  37. **SECTIONAL TENSIONS-between North and South The AGRICULTURAL SOUTH -opposed protective tariffs because that made the price of imports more expensive.

  38. **POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY • WHEN STATES (OR PEOPLES) RULE THEMSELVES.

  39. **SECTIONAL TENSIONS-caused by westward expansion • As new states entered the Union, compromises were reached that maintained the balance of power in Congress between “free” and “slave” states.
