South Carolina Exposition and Protest
The South Carolina Exposition and Protest was a written document against the Tariff of Abominations. The document, written by John Calhoun, said that South Carolina would secede if the Tariff was not nullified. The document also had the idea that states could reject the federal law, if seen fit.
