how did john calhoun react to the tariff of 1828?
1) he used his power as vice president to influence president jackson to oppose tariff. **
2) he led a charge to impose stricter regulations on the second bank of the u. s.
3) he devised a force bill allowing the president the right to use the army to enforce tariff.
4) he claimed that states had the right to cancel any federal law deemed unconstitutional

Calhoun had resined from his vice president position in 1832 to go back to senate. the Tariff of 1828 also known as the Tariff of Abominations passed through the House of Representitives President John Quincy Adams approved the bill on May 19, 1828, helping to seal his loss to Andrew Jackson in the 1828 presidential election. Later that year in response to the tariff, Vice President John C. Calhoun of South Carolina anonymously penned the South Carolina Exposition and Protest.     SO judged on this by protest it means the awnser is 2. hope i was able to help
