18. THE VP…

19. Early Calhoun: a nationalist Supported War of 1812 Tariff of 1816 BUS
VP John C. Calhoun- VP to JQA and AJackson… the leading opposition to both men

20. Distrusted the majority Opposed the tariffs of 1828 and 1832
Later Calhoun:
Identified closely with his home state (SC) in regards to tariffs and slavery
Distrusted the majority
Opposed the tariffs of 1828 and 1832
Supported:
States’ rights and nullification

21. “The Tariff of Abominations”

22. The Tariff of 1828
Tariff of 1824 increased the price of imported goods by 50%
Tariff of 1828 increased prices further

23. The Tariff of 1828 Calhoun on the “Tariff of Abominations”:
Tariff was detrimental to the interests of the South and the preservation of the Union
Protected the North and made it more difficult for the South to trade with Europe

24. South Carolina opposed the Tariff
The Tariff of 1828
South Carolina opposed the Tariff
“South Carolina Exposition and Protest” (South Carolina Doctrine) 1828
Declared that a sovereign state had the right to determine through a Convention (held in 1832) whether an act of Congress was unconstitutional and whether it constituted as a dangerous violation of states’ rights”

25. Calhoun on the purpose of the federal government:
Federal government = an agent of the states
Calhoun on the Union and the Constitution:
The Union was a compact (a league) between sovereign states
By nature sovereignty is absolute

26. Tariff of 1832
Federal governments response to South Carolina’s demands
A plan to lower the Tariff over time
SC did NOT think the change was enough

27. Nullification Crisis 1832

28. Calhoun’s defense for the protection of the minority = nullification
Tariff of 1832
Calhoun’s defense for the protection of the minority = nullification
Nullification protected “states’ rights”
States have the right to nullify (refuse to enforce) a federal law with which they don’t concur
Threatened that if the Tariff of 1832 was not withdrawn SC would secede
Nullification and secession protected the minority

29. South Carolina’s Convention:
The Tariff of 1832
South Carolina’s Convention:
The vote on nullification: 136 yes 26 no
Established laws that penalized anyone who attempted to collect tariff duties

30. The Tariff of 1832 Jackson’s Reaction:
“The Proclamation on Nullification” (1832)
The Union was perpetual
Constitution does not allow for secession
Secession would destroy the Union
“The Force Bill” (1833)
Requested that Congress allow Pres to use army, navy, state militias, and courts to quell any insurrection and to enforce the collection of the duties

31. Repeal of Nullification (1833):
Repeal of Nullification (1833):
Repealed the nullifying ordinance (also nullified the Force Act, but Jackson chose to ignore them)

32. AJackson and BUS
2nd BUS created in 1816, had a 20 yr charter Jackson’s opponents (Clay and Web) convinced BUS president (Nicholas Biddle) to ask for an early extension on the charter WHY would they do this??????????????????????

33. AJackson and BUS
1832 = election year! They wanted to destroy AJackson and they assumed he would veto the extension… They were right! He did! BUT Jackson convinced the public that this was the right thing to do… HOW???

34. AJackson and BUS
: Jackson worked to kill the bank Secretary of Treasury began depositing fed $ into state chartered banks, critics called them “pet banks” WAS THIS LEGAL????

35. AJackson and BUS
Jackson argued, his reelection gave him the mandate to destroy BUS Never before had a president claimed that victory at the polls allowed him to act independently of Congress

36. The Whigs
Jackson’s policies angered so many (even his own party) that a new political party was formed, THE WHIG PARTY
