Which political most strongly supported the idea of nullification ?

a) daniel webster
b) henry clay
c) andrew jackson
d) john c. calhoun

D) John C. Calhoun

Explanation:

John C. Calhoun, in the 1828 South Carolina protest and exposition, supported the state's claim that it could nullify the 1828 tariff legislation, which, if true, would give the state power to nullify federal laws. Although Jackson sympathized with the South, he also believed in a strong union of states, something that implies having a strong central government. By contradicting Calhoun, Jackson and him became strong rivals.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
