South Carolina became the center of the political advocacy for the right of states to declare any federal law null and void—nullification—for all of the following reasons EXCEPT
A) South Carolinians, particularly the white planter elite, believed that they were enduring a greater economic hardship than residents of mid-Atlantic states because the specific federal tariff rates enacted by Congress in 1828 favored products produced in this northern region. B) white South Carolinians depended heavily on slavery and worried that federal tariffs, internal improvements, and other federal activities were all efforts to utilize contested provisions in the Constitution that could enable the federal government in the near future to abolish slavery using similar constitutional grounds. C) the heavy state political influence and press attention given to South Carolina Radicals, who expressly supported utilizing nullification and, to some extent, even supported secession from the nation. D) notable South Carolinian politicians serving in Congress, such as Calhoun, believed that secession was the preferred course of action, but they adopted the compromise political position of nullification to give President Jackson a chance to preserve the Union.
