The answer is letter C. South Caroline claimed the nullification right. The Congress also gave the authority to President Jackson to fight it. Clay was also authorized to find for a way in settling the dispute. The Nullification Crisis was the confrontation between the federal government in the years 1832 to 1833 and the South Carolina state over the South Carolina's attempt to announce null and void within the federal Tariff's state of 1828 and 1832.
