Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calhoun's South Carolina Exposition and Protest argued that states had the power to nullify federal legislation within their borders, which was a significant challenge to the authority of the federal government. This position was largely in response to growing tensions over issues such as tariffs and states' rights, and it reflects Calhoun's belief in a more limited federal role in government affairs.
