Answer:

B Jackson held that the nation's interests must come first is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordinance of nullification was passed on November 24, 1832, it declared the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832, a convention of south Carolina had declared that the tariff act of 1828 and 1832 were not supported by the constitution and and favoured the northern states over the southern ones. The proclamation issued by president disputed the states right to nullify a federal law. Soon after the proclamation Congress also passed the Force act allowing the federal government to use force act against the states that were resisting the tariff acts. Later a compromise was reached with the states and slowly the tariffs were lowered over the next decade.
