What happened when the tariff proposed by Henry clay passes in 1832?

When the tariff proposed by Henry Clay passed in 1832, it aimed to reduce rates from the previous 1828 tariff but still maintained high duties that angered Southern states. This led to the Nullification Crisis in South Carolina, where state leaders, including John C. Calhoun, declared the tariff unconstitutional and refused to enforce it. The situation escalated to the point where President Andrew Jackson threatened military action to enforce federal law, highlighting the growing tensions between state and federal authority. Ultimately, a compromise tariff was reached in 1833, which gradually lowered duties and diffused the crisis.
