Answer 2

Andrew Jackson responded to the 'nullification crisis' by threatening to send federal troops to the state to enforce the law. (Option C)

• In 1828, the US Congress passed a high protective tariff on imported goods, which was supported by Northern manufacturers but opposed by Southern planters who relied on exports.
• In 1832, South Carolina declared the tariff unenforceable within its borders and threatened to secede from the Union if the federal government tried to collect it.
• President Andrew Jackson, a strong advocate of federal authority, responded by issuing a proclamation denouncing nullification as unconstitutional and calling on South Carolina to comply with federal law.
• Jackson also persuaded Congress to pass a Force Bill authorizing him to use military force if necessary to collect the tariff.
• However, he also sought a compromise by supporting a gradual reduction of the tariff over several years, which helped defuse the crisis and prevent a larger conflict.
• Ultimately, South Carolina backed down and accepted the federal government's authority, although tensions between North and South over tariffs and other issues continued to simmer and eventually led to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861.
