Question

south carolina eventually repealed its ordinance of nullification in exchange for
the passage of a congressional bill giving the president the power to collect taxes by force.
the immediate elimination of all tariffs and a federal declaration that nullification was constitutional.
the passage of a congressional bill removing the power of the president to collect taxes by force.
the federal elimination of the tariff of 1828 and a gradual reduction on import taxes over a decade.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the Nullification Crisis. South Carolina's Ordinance of Nullification was over tariffs. The compromise was the federal elimination of the Tariff of 1828 (the "Tariff of Abominations") and a gradual reduction of import taxes over a decade. Let's analyze the options:

• First option: The Force Bill gave the president power to collect taxes by force, but this wasn't the exchange for repeal. The repeal was for the tariff compromise.
• Second option: Nullification was about opposing tariffs, and the federal government didn't declare nullification constitutional.
• Third option: The Force Bill gave (not removed) the president power to collect taxes by force, and this isn't what South Carolina got in exchange.
• Fourth option: Matches the compromise: eliminate Tariff of 1828 and gradually reduce import taxes over a decade.

Answer:

the federal elimination of the Tariff of 1828 and a gradual reduction on import taxes over a decade.
