The nullification crisis occurred during Andrew Jackson's presidency. What happened was, when Jackson imposed a new tariff on the country, South Carolina refused to pay it. The state declared it unconstitutional and nullified it. Although Jackson lowered the tariff , South Carolina still refused to pay it. Some time after this, Jackson passed a bill allowing military action against South Carolina. After that, South Carolina agreed to negotiate and on March 11, 1833 they repealed there nullification of the tariff.
