Question

I consider, then, the power to annul a law of the United States, assumed by one state, incompatible with the existence of the Union, contradicted expressly by the letter of

the Constitution
-Proclamation, President Andrew Jackson

The proclamation excerpted above was issued during which of these historical events?


A Shay's Rebellion

B The War of 1812

C The Nullification Crisis

D The Missouri Compromise

Answer 1

C The Nullification Crisis

Step-by-step explanation:

The proclamation excerpt is referring to the Nullification Crisis, a political conflict between the federal government and the state of South Carolina in 1832-1833 over the issue of tariffs and states' rights. During the crisis, South Carolina threatened to nullify or declare void a federal law, which President Andrew Jackson opposed as being incompatible with the Constitution and the existence of the Union.

Answer 2

C Nullification Crisis
South felt like their state rights are being taken away with the enforcement of federal government Jackson facilitates. This angers the south and is labeled as a factor (not major) of the civil war
