States' Rights and Nullification


 Sates' Rights and Nullification

                    In 1832 South Carolina argued that their rights as a state should come before the federal  governments' needs. South Carolina refused to the federal laws because they were thought to be unconstitutional. Some people thought nullification was great while others believed that nullification would only cause tension. South Carolina stood alone with their ideas. A war almost broke out in 1832 when President Jackson decided to send troops to South Carolina.
