One state’s 1832 ordinance of nullification was passed

a) in support of the congressional force bill.

b) in opposition to the alien and sedition acts.

c) in opposition to the tariff of 1828.

d) in support of the missouri compromise.

The correct answer is C) in opposition to the Tariff of 1828.

The Ordinance of Nullification was first proposed by individuals from the state of South Carolina. These individuals felt that the tariff of 1828 violated states rights. Therefor, South Carolina used the doctrine of nullification. Nullification is the idea that a state can ignore a federal law they deem unconstitutional.

Southerners hated this tariff, as it decreased trade with other countries. This directly hurt Southerners because many of them made a living off trading cotton for other goods with European countries like Great Britain and France.
