Explanation:

The crisis came to a head in 1832 when a new tariff law was proposed. Although the bill actually lowered the rates on import taxes from the 1828 level, the South still considered it harmful. John C. Calhoun resigned as vice president to help lead the fight against the tariff as a senator from South Carolina. Even with the Southern opposition to the tariff, the bill was passed.
