Answer 1

Nullification was the process in which individual states had the power to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law that was seen as unconstitutional.

Explanation:

The issue on nullification created a crisis, known as the Nullification Crisis, in the early 1830s during Andrew Jackson's presidency.

The Crisis was a conflict between the state of South Carolina and the federal government regarding its laws. Eventually, South Carolina accepted a compromise and the crisis left the nation.
