South Carolina believed that their election support with the President would help them get the tax burden off their shoulders. South Carolina protested that the tariffs were unconstitutional. There was a slight reduction of Tariff in the Tariff of 1832 but South Carolina was not contented and still pursued their appeal. The government made The Compromise Tariff of 1833 which gained the approval of South Carolina. However, South Carolina still continued for the nullification tariff ordinance.
