d indian removal act
southerners felt they had the right to ignore laws passed by the federal government if it violated their states’ rights. which of the following events best illustrates that action?
a. indian removal act
b. nullification crisis
c. spoils system
d. panic of 1837

Explanation:

The question is about identifying an event related to states' rights and ignoring federal laws. The Nullification Crisis involved South Carolina's attempt to nullify a federal tariff, claiming states' rights to ignore federal laws that violated their state rights. The Indian Removal Act was a federal law enforced, the Spoils System was about political patronage, and the Panic of 1837 was an economic crisis. So the Nullification Crisis (Option B) best illustrates the action.

Answer:

B. Nullification Crisis
