Answer 1

Imposition of the tariffs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Imposition of the tariffs is the reason for growing tension between federal government and state power between 1824 and 1848. It was driven by South Carolina politician John C. Calhoun, who opposed the decision of federal government to impose tariffs in the year of 1828 and 1832. He also argued that the United States Constitution gave states of the country the right to avoid the enforcement of a federal law. So due to these tariffs, tension between federal government and state power held. Nullification Crisis is one of the political consequence of this source of tension between federal and state government.
