South Carolina’s Ordinance of Nullification Takes Effect

South Carolina’s 1832 Ordinance of Nullification, which declared the federal tariffs of 1828 and 1832 null and void within the state, was set to take effect on February 1, 1833.

The effective date escalated the Nullification Crisis by putting state defiance of federal tariff law into operation, prompting the Jackson administration and Congress to confront a constitutional challenge to federal authority.
