John C. Calhoun declared that it was the state s right to declare such a law (protective tariff) unconstitutional and nullify it if the law hurt the state.
One result of the Mexican War was the extension of slavery. The slavery debate continued as the country expanded westward.
Other disagreements over slavery due to westward expansion resulted in divisive events such as the Missouri Compromise, the Kansas Nebraska Act, and the Dred Scott Decision.
