Who authorized the compromise tariff of 1832-1833?

The Compromise Tariff of 1832-1833 was authorized by President Andrew Jackson. It was designed to resolve the Nullification Crisis in South Carolina, where the state had declared federal tariffs null and void. The compromise, crafted by Senator Henry Clay, gradually reduced tariffs over a decade to alleviate the tensions between the federal government and the states. Jackson's support was crucial in getting the legislation passed, as he sought to maintain the Union.
