[PAR] [TLE] Tariff of 1833 [SEP] The Tariff of 1833 (also known as the Compromise Tariff of 1833, ch.  55, 4 Stat.  629 ), enacted on March 2, 1833, was proposed by Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun as a resolution to the Nullification Crisis.  Enacted under Andrew Jackson's presidency, it was adopted to gradually reduce the rates following southerners' objections to the protectionism found in the Tariff of 1832 and the 1828 Tariff of Abominations; the tariffs had prompted South Carolina to threaten secession from the Union.  This Act stipulated that import taxes would gradually be cut over the next decade until, by 1842, they matched the levels set in the Tariff of 1816—an average of 20%.  The compromise reductions lasted only two months into their final stage before protectionism was reinstated by the Black Tariff of 1842. [PAR] [TLE] Henry Clay [SEP] Henry Clay Sr. (April 12, 1777 – June 29, 1852) was an American lawyer and planter, statesman, and skilled orator who represented Kentucky in both the United States Senate and House of Representatives.  After serving three non-consecutive terms as Speaker of the House of Representatives, Clay helped elect John Quincy Adams as president, and Adams subsequently appointed Clay as Secretary of State.  Clay served four separate terms in the Senate, including a stints from 1831 to 1842 and from 1849 to 1852.  He ran for the presidency in 1824, 1832 and 1844, and unsuccessfully sought his party's nomination in 1840 and 1848.  Clay was one of a handful of central national leaders from 1811 to the 1850s, defining the issues, proposing nationalistic solutions, and creating the Whig Party, one of the two major parties during the Second Party System.
