Ordinance and Proclamation on Federal Tariffs and Union
A South Carolina convention issues an ordinance declaring federal duties on foreign goods unconstitutional and null within the state. President Andrew Jackson responds with a Proclamation defending the union and warning against nullification and state secession.
Constitution and state power under scrutiny
The argument rebuts a claim that states may nullify constitutional laws and argues that such a doctrine undermines the Union. It defends the supremacy of the federal constitution, cites Washington, and asserts that no constitutional debates supported implied veto rights. It notes objections about revenue and constitutionality of proceeds but maintains Congress controls taxation.
