Shortly after he takes office, Jackson finds himself embroiled in a controversy with his vice-president John C. Calhoun. As a South Carolinian, Calhoun's future political hopes may well depend on how effectively he can negotiate relief from the tariff laws that his state considers "abominable." What Calhoun does is propose a policy of nullification in which one state can nullify a national law, in this case the tariffs of 1828 and 1830. Calhoun's Nullification Doctrine, passed by the South Carolina legislature, undermines his standing within the new administration. He now has a powerful rival in the cabinet, Martin Van Buren.
