How was the fight over tariffs related to the issue of states’ rights?
Answers
In American political discourse, states' rights are political powers held for the state governments rather than the federal government according to the United States Constitution, reflecting especially the enumerated powers of Congress and the Tenth Amendment. The enumerated powers that are listed in the Constitution include exclusive federal powers, as well as concurrent powers that are shared with the states, and all of those powers are contrasted with the reserved powers—also called states' rights—that only the states possess.
The fight over tariffs related to the issue of the states rights in that states felt at a certain point that they could reject _starting with the Tariff of 1828, when Congress passed a bill to protect the northern industry_ laws that they deemed unconstitutional; this was known as Doctrine of nullification
