He was a United States politician from South Carolina during the 1st half of the nineteenth century. Calhoun was the first Vice President to resign from office (served as VP in the Adams and Jackson Administration) ... he resigned to become a member of the Senate. and was known as an advocate of slavery, states rights, a limited federal government, and nullification (nullification is the belief that the states should have the right to deem a federal law unconstitutional). Calhoun was a major inspiration to the secessionists who caused the Civil War (he was dead during the Civil War period, he was only an inspiration).

He also served in the United States House of Representatives and was Secretary of War under James Monroe and Secretary of State under John Tyler.
