In this episode, we explore the Nullification Crisis, a pivotal clash between federal authority and states' rights during Andrew Jackson's presidency. Sparked by the controversial Tariff of 1828, South Carolina's opposition and the advocacy of nullification by John C. Calhoun set the stage for a constitutional showdown, ultimately resolved through compromise. This crisis foreshadowed the deeper sectional tensions leading to the Civil War, highlighting the ongoing struggle between state sovereignty and federal power in American politics.
