Citizens felt that the tariffs were too high when the federal government issues them so they wanted only the state's to have the right to tax to avoid higher tariffs

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.
