California tried to nullify the federal tariffs of 1828 and 1832 on the basis that they were unconstitutional

Effects:
A compromise was reached, in which the tariff would be lowered, but kept in place in order to maintain the idea that states cannot nullify federal law
Revived the dormant the debate of slavery and states' rights
