This contains the full text of the important "Proclamation to the People of South Carolina," issued in response to that state's Ordinance of Nullification. Jackson offers a strongly-worded response to the dangerous precedent of a state operating in defiance of federal law: "The laws of the United States must be executed . . . disunion by armed force is treason."
